Concert Series
IJ-Salon – Experimental milestones in the Muziekgebouw
The IJ-Salon is Music Stages’ musical laboratory. Michael Gieler playfully pushes the boundaries of chamber music, together with fellow musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. During IJ Salon, we will explore different genres, discover unusual musical instruments, and get to known special guests including actors, dancers, choreographers or performance artists; thanks to Michael’s inventiveness, every iteration of IJ Salon is a delightful surprise.
This casual Saturday afternoon series is now an institution at Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ. Carel Alphenaar, the regular dramatist of Music Stages, creates ingenious designs which make each concert look completely different, also serving to enhance the musical experience. Over the course of ten years, the IJ-Salon has become a real crowd-pleaser - and you can enjoy a nice drink afterwards!
Bijlmer Classical – Intimate gems in Amsterdam Southeast
In the Bijlmer series, Michael Gieler brings top-level chamber music to Amsterdam-Southeast.
Members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra play music in an intimate setting, collaborating
with artists who have their roots in the Bijlmer. On the stage of the Bijlmer Parktheater, big names
like Beethoven and Schubert are paired with swinging tunes from all over the world. Bijlmer Classical
is a joint project of Music Stages and the Bijlmer Parktheater. Michael Gieler translates the
communicative power of music into accessible programs: 'We believe very strongly in interacting
with our audience, both during the concert and afterwards. We often treat them to a drink and bring
homemade cookies with us.’
Bijlmer Tour
On August 28th, 2020, musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra will embark on a series of concerts and workshops throughout Amsterdam Southeast, from Driemond to Amstel III, to allow even more inhabitants of this neighbourhood to enjoy music with a typically Bijlmer twist.
