SUMMER OF AMSTERDAM
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.
Whatever your cultural preferences, a full summer of
artistic enlightenment awaits!
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.
