Ronald Brautigam live in Amsterdam

Experience Ronald Brautigam live on May 9th

Ronald Brautigam will perform at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on May 9, 2027. Brautigam is a Dutch pianist renowned for his historically informed performances, particularly of late 18th and 19th-century repertoire. His approach emphasizes clarity and articulation, often utilizing instruments restored to their original specifications – frequently a fortepiano – to recreate the sound world composers intended. He’s known for championing composers like Beethoven, Schubert, and Mendelssohn with a focus on stylistic nuance and a rejection of later Romantic performance practices.

The Concertgebouw, opened in 1888, is widely considered one of the finest concert halls in the world due to its exceptional acoustics. Designed by Pieter Cuypers, it was built as a gift from businessman Cornelis Bredius to the city of Amsterdam. The hall's rectangular shape and specific dimensions contribute to its renowned resonance and natural sound projection; no amplification is typically used. Throughout its history, the Concertgebouw has been home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest), one of the leading orchestras globally.
