Riccardo Minasi live in Amsterdam

Experience Riccardo Minasi live on October 22nd

Riccardo Minasi will conduct a performance at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 22, 2026. Minasi is an Italian conductor known for his interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire, frequently praised for their clarity, dynamic range, and insightful phrasing. His approach often emphasizes textural transparency and a focus on melodic line, avoiding overly mannered performances in favour of direct emotional communication. He has built a reputation for working with major orchestras internationally and is increasingly recognized for his operatic conducting as well.

The Concertgebouw, opened in 1888, is renowned globally for its exceptional acoustics. Designed by Pierre Cuypers, the building’s rectangular shape and specific dimensions – notably its height-to-width ratio – contribute to its famed reverberation and sonic warmth. It has long been considered one of the world’s leading concert halls, consistently ranked among the best due to these acoustic properties. Throughout its history, the Concertgebouw has been home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest), fostering a strong tradition of orchestral performance. The hall's interior features elaborate ornamentation reflecting late 19th-century Dutch aesthetics.
