About this event
The Netherlands' best-known open-air classical concert is played from a pontoon moored on the Prinsengracht. This year's programme brings pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, cellist Sol Gabetta and mezzo-soprano Maria Warenberg, with a children's concert in the afternoon and a pre-programme from 20:00. Most of the audience listens from the canal's quays and bridges.
Why we picked it
A genuinely free, nationally televised classical concert in the middle of the canal belt — the strongest Amsterdam pick in this window.
Free entry
The organisers state: "The Prinsengrachtconcert is free and accessible from the quays and bridges of the Prinsengracht." Seating on the pontoon is reserved for sponsors and partners, and boat places were allocated by a separate spring registration — neither is needed to attend from the quayside.
