Andrew Manze live in Rotterdam

Experience Andrew Manze live on May 14th

Andrew Manze will perform at De Doelen in Rotterdam on May 14, 2027. Manze is a British violinist and conductor renowned for his historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical period music. His interpretations frequently emphasize clarity of articulation, dynamic nuance, and a striving for authenticity in performance practice, often utilizing period instruments or setups. He’s particularly known for his complete recordings of Handel’s operas and his work with The English Concert, which he directed from 2007 to 2018. Beyond Baroque repertoire, Manze has expanded into later periods including Beethoven and Brahms, maintaining a similar focus on stylistic awareness.

De Doelen is a prominent concert hall in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a rich history dating back to 1830. Originally built as a shooting range (“doelen” translates to “targets”), the building was converted into a concert venue in the late 19th century. It underwent significant renovations and expansions over the years, notably in the 1960s resulting in its current modernist architectural style designed by Hugh Maaskant.
