Matangi Quartet live in Alkmaar

Experience Matangi Quartet live on October 18th

Matangi Quartet, a string quartet celebrated for its adventurous and boundary-pushing approach to contemporary classical music, will perform at Taqa Theater De Vest in Alkmaar, Netherlands on October 18, 2026. The quartet frequently incorporates extended techniques, improvisation, and influences from diverse musical traditions – including Indian classical music – into their performances, moving beyond traditional repertoire. They are known for commissioning new works and collaborating with artists across disciplines.

Taqa Theater De Vest is a prominent cultural venue in Alkmaar, housed within a former church building dating back to 1878, originally the Sint Joseph Church. It underwent significant renovation and conversion into a theatre in 1984, retaining many of its original architectural features. The theatre hosts a varied program encompassing theatre productions, dance performances, concerts (spanning classical to contemporary genres), and other artistic events. It functions as a regional cultural hub serving the city of Alkmaar and surrounding areas. Taqa sponsors the theater currently; previously it was known as Theater De Vest. The building's acoustics are considered particularly well-suited for chamber music performances due to its design and history.
