Perfect harmony of melody and mood

Renowned for its "velvet" strings, "golden" brass and the exceptional and personal timbre of the woodwinds, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (RCO) of Holland is widely acclaimed as one of the best symphony orchestras in the world.

The orchestra premiered on Nov 3, 1888 at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the hall after which it is named. It is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year in Beijing at the National Center for the Performing Arts on Nov 4 and 5.
