About

What’s on your bucketlist? Jumping out of a plane, backpacking in South America, run a marathon? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit a real classical music concert? Losing yourself in the timeless sounds of world famous composers? We’ve curated the classical music bucketlist just for you: these are musthears!

INEXPERIENCED LISTENER?

Classical music is awesome. Hearing a symphony orchestra perform live, gives you goosebumps. More than 50 musicians, sometimes more than 100, are playing live music just for you. Maybe you’re an experienced listener, maybe you’re going to visit a classical music concert for the first time in your life. It doesn’t matter, the Bucketlist Concerts are for everyone who wants to enjoy a night out. With the Bucketlist Concerts, the philharmonie zuidnederland presents its concerts with their own look&feel but without changing anything about the original concert. It’s classical music just the way it is: beautiful, overwhelming, relaxing, intense, etcetera.
