Lunchtime concerts in the Concertgebouw and the Stadhuis

Amsterdammers and visitors are treated to a number of free lunchtime concerts every week (October to June). On Tuesday at 12.15 the doors open at the Boekmanzaal (a part of the Amsterdam Stadhuis/Muziektheater) for a concert from 12.30 - 13.00.
The programme consists of chamber music, which is performed by some of members of the permanent ensembles in the Muziektheater: the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, the Choir of the Netherlands Opera and the Netherlands Ballet Orchestra.

At the Concertgebouw there is a free concert on offer every Wednesday from 12.30-13.00. These concerts take place in either the Great Hall (Grote Zaal) or the Recital Hall (Kleine Zaal). Often these concerts involve public rehearsals by orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest), who perform 'officially' later that evening.
