hour until approximately 8:30 p.m.
Experience the overwhelming sounds of the finest music from within
A special concert, which takes a different approach than usual. Therefore a brief explanation, so you can prepare well for the evening.
🕰️ doors open
The doors of Amare Studio (on the 3rd floor of Amare) will open about 15 minutes before the concert. For the concert, please visit Foyer 1 on the 1st floor of Amare.
🤫 Sssst...
The musical experience begins the moment you enter the hall. The request is therefore to sit as quietly as possible and not to talk loudly once you are inside. It is therefore also recommended that you wear shoes with soft soles to minimize noise.
🪑 Changing seats
During the concert, 80 seats are placed between the orchestra, and 80 seats in a square around the orchestra. Halfway through the concert, all visitors change seats, with seat numbers remaining the same (e.g., seat 5 in the orchestra changes with seat 5 around the orchestra). Visitors who first sat among the orchestra move to the seats around the orchestra and vice versa. In this way, everyone can experience both unique experiences.
📵 Phone
We kindly ask that you limit phone use so that other visitors are not disturbed by screen light, for example.

Fun Fact
Amsterdam
Vivaldi's Four Seasons are one of his best-known works. But did you know that they were published in Amsterdam? The piece of music was printed and published in 1725 along with eight other concertos titled Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Measurement of Harmony and Invention). Indeed, Amsterdam was home to one of the most important music publishers in Europe, founded by printer Estienne Roger.
Fun Fact
Ribkwal
Tonight's One Minute Symphony was written by Robin Fiedler. "Shortly before I started writing, I read about a rib jellyfish, a deep-sea jellyfish with an amazing ability. These animals are able to merge into one when one of them is injured. The way to heal each other is literally to merge two into one. I wanted to capture the amazing monstrosity of what it must feel like to literally merge with another organism."
