SUMMER OF AMSTERDAM

ArivalGuidesgoes ArivalTV!

Amsterdam hosts more than 300 festivals each year, from outdoor lm fairs to multi-day dance-music parties and from culinary fêtes to chamber music in Golden Age canal houses. The city becomes a stage in June, when top-ight performers from all over the globe descend on Amsterdam for the Holland Festival, a spectacular month of culture straddling theatre, dance, music and more. Then the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra picks up the baton for two months of world-class performances, taking in everything from classical music to cabaret during the Robeco SummerNights programme. August’s Grachtenfestival (‘Canal Festival’), meanwhile, takes classical music out of the concert hall and into unique locations around the city, culminating in the spectacular (and free) canal-side Prinsengracht Concert.

Robeco SummerNights

Held from late 28 June through to 31 August 2014, the Robeco SummerNights series is an integral part of Amsterdam's summer cultural calendar pushing the boundaries with classical concerts, swinging jazz and lively pop oerings.

Whatever your cultural preferences, a full summer of artistic enlightenment awaits!
