Maxim Emelyanychev live in Rotterdam

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on October 30th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian-born countertenor renowned for his virtuosic technique and adventurous repertoire choices, will perform at De Doelen in Rotterdam on October 30, 2026. Emelyanychev’s musical style is characterized by a blending of Baroque and contemporary approaches to vocal performance. He frequently explores lesser-known works alongside established classics, often incorporating improvisation and theatrical elements into his concerts. He is particularly known for his interpretations of Handel and Vivaldi, but also commissions and performs new music specifically written for his voice.

De Doelen is a prominent concert hall in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a rich history dating back to 1830. Originally built as a shooting range ("doelen" translates to "targets" in Dutch), it was converted into a concert venue in the late 19th century. The main hall, the Grote Zaal, is celebrated for its excellent acoustics and has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed orchestras and soloists. Following extensive renovations completed in 2020, De Doelen continues to be a central hub for classical music within the city and wider region.
