Klaus Mäkelä live in Amsterdam

Experience Klaus Mäkelä live on January 27th

Klaus Mäkelä will conduct a performance at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on January 27, 2027. Mäkelä is a Finnish conductor rapidly gaining international recognition for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and contemporary works. His conducting style is often described as possessing clarity, emotional depth, and a notable attention to orchestral color. He frequently champions Nordic composers alongside established masters, and is known for a meticulous approach to score study and a collaborative relationship with orchestras.

The Concertgebouw, opened in 1888, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and is widely considered one of the world’s leading concert halls. Designed by Pierre Cuypers, the building’s architecture incorporates elements of neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque styles. Its rectangular shape, rather than a traditional horseshoe design, contributes significantly to its celebrated sound quality – achieved through careful calculations regarding volume, height, and the use of specific materials. Throughout its history, the Concertgebouw has been home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (RCO), with whom Mäkelä has a continuing relationship, and has hosted performances by virtually every major orchestra and conductor globally.
