At Close to Classics, you almost literally sit on the lap of the musicians of the Residentie Orkest. Hear what they hear and experience what they experience. Experience the overwhelming sounds of the most beautiful music from the inside. Absolutely a new experience for both audience and orchestra. Very eagerly the Residentie Orkest performs this concept four times in January 2025 for various groups such as elementary school pupils, residents of The Hague and people with disabilities.

A donation of 250 euros helps make this series of four unique concerts possible and gives you and a guest access to an exclusive concert especially for donors on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025 at 4 p.m. in Studio Amare in which you yourself will sit next to and between the musicians. 

You will also become a Gold Friend of the Residentie Orkest for the remainder of the season. No ticket sales are available for this concert through regular channels.

In this anniversary season, two additional major projects featuring young talent will take place at the Concert Hall of Amare. During the two "side by side" projects, a total of 60 students from the Royal Conservatoire The Hague will have the opportunity to work with the musicians of the Residentie Orkest. With your contribution, these students will be guided and coached by our own musicians during rehearsals and concerts.

A donation of 500 Euros will help make these two unique concerts possible and give you and a guest access to Friday, March 21, 2025 (world premiere of Cada Instante by Klaas de Vries) and meet the students afterwards to hear for yourself their experiences. With this donation you also become a Platinum Friend of the Residentie Orkest, and enjoy all Friends privileges for one year.
