A roller coaster of musical emotions

Did you buy a ticket for this concert? The corona virus hits the arts industry hard and for many arts organisations, this economic damage comes on top of the recent cuts in Flemish cultural subsidies. This is why we call on our audience not to ask for a refund of cancelled tickets, in solidarity with the artists. The financial resources thus retained will be fully invested by the Concertgebouw in the artists most affected by job losses. You can also get your ticket value back in the form of a voucher. You will receive this voucher via e-mail in the upcoming weeks. The voucher can be used for a performance of your choice via concertgebouw.be and is valid for one year. You can thus easily use this voucher for the purchase of tickets for this season or the following.

Using an impressive array of musical forces, in a thousand shades, to mirror inner life: that’s the trademark of late Romantic orchestral music. Mahler’s unfinished Tenth Symphony – composed when he was critically ill – is some of the most languishing music ever written. Heartrendingly honest, that's how the violin part sounds in Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, in which every bar exudes Scandinavian melancholy. The joyful musical rough-and-tumble with which Richard Strauss brings the merry pranks of Tijl Uilenspiegel to life provide the counterbalance.
