Ian Bostridge live in Amsterdam

Experience Ian Bostridge live on September 26th

Ian Bostridge will perform at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam on September 26, 2026. Bostridge is a highly regarded English tenor known for his interpretations of art song, particularly those of Franz Schubert, Benjamin Britten and Hugo Wolf. His performances are frequently praised for their intellectual depth, clarity of diction, and emotional nuance; he often brings a scholarly approach to his repertoire, having previously held a research fellowship at University College London focusing on the history of singing. He frequently collaborates with leading accompanists and orchestras in recital and operatic roles.

Muziekgebouw Amsterdam opened in 1988 as a concert hall specifically designed for contemporary and new music, though its programming encompasses a broad range of classical music genres. Architecturally notable for its acoustics and flexible spaces, it was conceived as a counterpart to the nearby Concertgebouw, which focuses primarily on traditional repertoire. The building features several halls of varying sizes, including the Main Hall (Grote Zaal) with capacity for over 1400 people, and smaller spaces suitable for more intimate performances. It is situated within the Amsterdamse havenstad district, part of a larger cultural complex that includes the Bimhuis jazz club and the Filmhuis cinema.
