![Concertgebouw - Amsterdam [Museumplein] (Aug 09)](http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/38/83/50/concertgebouw-amsterdam.jpg)
I attended a concert given by the Leipaig Orchestra and directed by the beloved former conductor of the Concert-Gebouw, Riccardo Chailly. The music--Brahms and Shostakovich--was beautiful. We sat on the main floor of this beautiful old concert hall and I found the old, flat floor with seats placed in even rows in front of each other bothersome. It was difficult...

Owner description:
Built in the late 19th century, the home of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is known for outstanding acoustics. From September to June at 12:30 p.m. Every Wednesday, there is a free 30 minute concert in the Concertgebouw. This is often a public rehearsal from world famous orchestras or ensembles that will perform, for a fee, later that evening.

The Concertgebouw is one of Europe's major halls and every visit is special. The acoustic is excellent, the audiences are warm and appreciative.

There is also a very...

We just went to see the building and asked for ticets, and we got for the concert the same evening. We had a wonderful concert with the full philharmonic orcestra. The ticket was not expensive and it included one glass wine before the concert, one glass in the pause, and the tram ticket to and return from the concert. The...

We visited the Concertgebouw in the first week of May to have a look at this Architectural wonder.
It certainly inspires and had me wondering at the creative talents of the designers, and how they had to achieve an acoustically inert yet accurate structure and make it in an impactful building
Hole in one!
Go see it, truly a masterpiece.

Very nice architecture and location in the Museum area. The shows are plentiful but a bit pricey.

There are no tickets involved~ first come first served idea. There was a little cafe in the complex serving sandwiches & other light fare, coffee...
