Connecting through jazz
The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw has put big band music back on the map in the Netherlands. Since 1999 we have been the backbone of jazz programming at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, alongside many other venues in the Netherlands and abroad, with many tens of thousands of visitors every year. Also, dozens of arrangers and soloists and tens of thousands of visitors have joined the orchestra for the past 20 years (read about us!). In turn, the 18-member band always tries to touch you as a listener with this special form of music.
Because that is the most important thing for us: reaching out and connecting to travel along together, sometimes for a short while, sometimes a lifetime – connecting through jazz.
Support the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw
To maintain the continuity and the quality of the band, the Jazz Orchestra uses the widest possible financing mix. For us you, as an individual, are an important factor for us: with your gift you make it possible, for example, to pay for foreign soloists, to release our new music on CD or vinyl. Or to support the projects that the Jazz Orchestra is developing to offer upcoming talents a stage under our wings. The collaboration with the new generation is always a major source of inspiration for the orchestra. Donations are also essential for foreign tours.
How can I support the Jazz Orchestra?
There are various options for this. You can make a one-time donation or commit yourself to the Jazz Orchestra for a longer period of time and this can be done in various ways. We are happy to discuss the destination of your gift with you and the way in which you want to be involved in the purpose of your choice.
