Once a year, the historical centre of Amsterdam becomes a concerttheater. At more than 20 special in- and outside locations (inter)national musicians give concerts.

You can listen to the music at the canals, gardens, historical buildings and from the banks of  'het IJ'. There are also concerts from livingrooms or roof-terrace. Most concerts are free or have a small fee. The climax is the Prinsengrachtconcert, which combines classical music outdoors with typical Amsterdam customs of being at the water.
