Leonardo García Alarcón live in Amsterdam

Experience Leonardo García Alarcón live on March 19th

Leonardo García Alarcón will perform at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on March 19, 2027. Alarcón is a highly regarded Argentinian conductor and harpsichordist specializing in Baroque and early Classical music. His approach is characterized by meticulous historical research, a focus on rediscovering and performing lesser-known works from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a dynamic, emotionally expressive interpretation style often incorporating improvisation based on period performance practices. He frequently leads ensembles such as Plácido Domingo’s Operalia competition orchestra and his own ensemble, Cappella Musicale de Notre-Dame.

The Concertgebouw, opened in 1888, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and is considered one of the world’s leading concert halls. Designed by architect Pieter Cuypers, its interior features elaborate ornamentation and was intended to create a visually and aurally immersive experience. The hall’s acoustics are attributed to its shoebox shape and the materials used in its construction; ongoing research continues to refine understanding of these properties.
