Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw live in Amsterdam

Experience Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw live on November 26th

The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw will perform at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam on November 26, 2026. This Dutch ensemble is recognized for its broad repertoire encompassing a wide spectrum of jazz and related genres, from the traditions of Duke Ellington and Count Basie to contemporary compositions and collaborations with diverse artists. The orchestra distinguishes itself through arrangements often tailored to its large ensemble size – typically featuring five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones, and a rhythm section – resulting in a rich, full sound. They frequently explore arrangements of classical works alongside original jazz pieces.

Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, opened in 2005, is a concert hall specifically designed for contemporary and new music. Its architecture, by Neutelings Riedijk Architects, emphasizes flexibility and acoustic excellence. Situated within the Amsterdam harbor area, it’s part of a cultural complex alongside the Bimhuis (jazz club) and the IJ-hallen (event space). The hall boasts two primary spaces: the Concertzaal, known for its adjustable acoustics allowing adaptation to various musical styles; and the Kleine Zaal, a more intimate setting.
