Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek is widely regarded as one of the finest sopranos of our time. She will give a rare solo recital with Amsterdam Sinfonietta. Very fitting for the time of year, the programme includes Hector Berlioz’ Les nuits d’été – a colourful and emotional highlight of French art song.

During the last festival weekend, the Holland Festival will present a new, one-day mini festival inspired by the famous Proms. The festival will feature a thrilling line-up, running from the afternoon until the early hours of the night. As befits any promenade concert, including this one at the Concertgebouw, the seats are taken out of the stalls, allowing the audience to walk around and move to the music freely. The programme starts off with an adventurous, family friendly programme, then explores the depths in classical and contemporary music, and finally concludes with an exciting pop concert. The party is then continued in other parts of the building, so it promises to be a lively affair at the Concertgebouw, right into the small hours. programme lyrics concert 2 and 3
