Concertgebouw, Concert hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Concertgebouw is a concert hall in Amsterdam featuring two performance spaces of different sizes. The main auditorium holds roughly 2000 spectators, while a smaller room accommodates intimate chamber performances.
Construction began in 1883 in an area south of Amsterdam, and the building opened in 1888 as a new music venue. Since then it has become a leading center for orchestral music in the Netherlands.
The venue serves as a gathering place where musicians and audiences experience classical and contemporary works together in an intimate musical setting. This role has made it central to how the city experiences and values live orchestral performance.
The hall welcomes visitors year-round and has a restaurant area for guests before and after events. The building is wheelchair accessible and arranged to serve all types of visitors comfortably.
The building was recognized with a royal title in 2013 after 125 years of operation, reflecting its importance to the country's musical heritage. This honor acknowledges its lasting influence on orchestral music in the region.
