Van Baerle Trio live in Amsterdam

Experience Van Baerle Trio live on October 7th

The Van Baerle Trio is scheduled to perform at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 7, 2026. The trio – comprised of violinist Isabelle van Keulen, cellist Maarten Engeltjes, and pianist Hannes Leiacker – is recognized for its interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, often characterized by a refined chamber music aesthetic and a focus on clarity of texture and emotional depth. Their performances frequently highlight a balance between intellectual rigor and passionate expression.

The Concertgebouw, opened in 1888, holds a prominent position in the history of concert halls globally. Designed by Pieter Cuypers, it’s celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, consistently ranked among the best in the world. The hall’s rectangular shape and specific architectural features contribute to its renowned sound quality; notably the lack of parallel surfaces minimizes unwanted reflections. Throughout its history, the Concertgebouw has been home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and has hosted performances by leading musicians from around the world. It underwent significant renovations between 2020 and 2023 to modernize facilities while preserving its acoustic integrity and historical character. The building itself is considered an example of Neo-Renaissance architecture.
