Olga Vocal Ensemble live in Haarlem

Experience Olga Vocal Ensemble live on December 12th

Olga Vocal Ensemble will perform at Jansstraat 33, Haarlem on December 12, 2026. The ensemble is a Netherlands-based vocal group specializing in polyphonic vocal music, drawing heavily from both early music – often Renaissance and Baroque – and contemporary compositions. Their repertoire frequently features arrangements of folk melodies alongside original works commissioned specifically for their unique instrumentation; typically consisting of six to eight voices without instrumental accompaniment. They are known for a clear, precise sound and expressive interpretations emphasizing textual clarity.

Jansstraat 33 is a historic building in Haarlem, currently functioning as a concert venue known as 'Het Koetshuis' (The Coach House). Originally part of the larger estate belonging to the Kloosterhof, a former monastery, the building dates back to the 17th century. It served various functions throughout its history, including housing carriages and stable facilities—hence its name—before being repurposed for cultural events. The space is noted for its intimate atmosphere and relatively good acoustics, making it suitable for chamber music performances like those presented by vocal ensembles. The building’s architecture reflects the Haarlem Renaissance style prevalent during its construction period.
