Traditionally, the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble heralds the new year with a grand, musical celebration from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Featuring unexpected guests, the most beautiful musical tales from all corners of the globe, and of course, this year’s young winners of the composition competition. A sensory-stimulating performance offering fellowship, hope, solace, and inspiration.

Also this year, the New Year’s concert on January 1st will be broadcast on television by BNNVara.

Ticket sales will start in early November. Keep an eye on our newsletter, as we will also announce the presale there.

Feedback from our audience last year:

“What a beautiful, magnificent New Year’s concert… The performance of the piece ‘Haydar, Haydar’ by Cicek really transported me. I put everything else aside afterwards. The interplay between the flutist and the drummer touched an emotion that far surpasses an intense lived emotion. They took you to the creation of a new story.”

“Touchingly beautiful NBE New Year’s concert yesterday, with music from all corners of the world and for (almost) all ages. What a nice start to the new year!”

“It’s nice to find connection in music from all corners of the world, and to be able to pass that on to our 3 young children, especially now.”

“What a beautiful start to a new year, it was enchantingly beautiful. It was wonderful to have experienced this in the most beautiful concert hall.”
