It is rare to hear so much Brahms in one concert. But Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra seem to have Brahms in their blood. A guaranteed spectacle, with pianist Kirill Gerstein as the icing on the cake. 

That Hungarian dances are tailor-made for the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer seems logical. But when it comes to Brahms, it doesn't stop there: the world-famous conductor and his orchestra keep returning to Brahms - this time for a complete Brahms cycle. The match with pianist Kirill Gerstein is quickly made. For him, too, Brahms's First is not just any piano concerto: it was with this concerto that he made his debut as a star soloist. 

Last chance: photo exhibition NEIGHBOURS

Visit NEIGHBOURS before, during, or after your concert at de Doelen. This photo exhibition in the Grote Zaal Foyer welcomes de Doelen’s neighbours from the Oude Westen neighborhood.

Café Marseille, pet store De Rimboe, and ice cream shop De Ijssalon set the scene for a lively area where residents of all ages and styles come together. Photographer Robin Utrecht and creative producer Mieke van der Linden shine a spotlight on this diversity with a series of portraits. Utrecht, known for his work during Lunchbreak concerts and royal state visits, shows in this series that ordinary people are anything but ordinary.
