The Concert Hall

a view from the park

This elegant building was built in the 19th century, thanks to the six Dutch businessmen, who wanted to prove to everyone that the inhabitants of Amsterdam have the knowledge of art, and that the Dutch musicians can play.

The first concert was held in 1888 by the new National Orchestra, directed by Willem Kes. Great artists such as Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra or Frank Zappa held their concerts here.

Conferences, exhibitions, business meetings and political conventions are also held here.
