We are pleased to invite you to a special event at the NedPhO-Koepel on Wednesday February 19th 2025, starting at 15:00.

The Netherlands Philharmonic & Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, is based in Amsterdam. As dedicated partner of the Dutch National Opera, they perform at internationally renowned venues, including the prestigious Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

The Netherlands Philharmonic & Netherlands Chamber Orchestra joined the network of Dujat back in 2018, and while our joint event in 2020 had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, and a small concert was organized for Dujat members in 2022, we are delighted to finally collaborate once again in 2025.

The NedPhO-Koepel, the orchestra’s home base, is a beautiful venue with the impressive Yakult-Hall located in the heart of this former church. This hidden gem, located close to Muiderpoort-station in the east part of Amsterdam, offers a unique and inspiring background for music and connection.

This exclusive event is a rare opportunity to observe a rehearsal of the complete symphonic setting, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous preparation and artistry that define this orchestra’s exceptional performances.

During the event, Fiona Arens, Managing Director of The Netherlands Philharmonic & Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, will share some highlights of the orchestra’s mission and work. We are also happy to welcome Hiroyasu Matsubara, Managing Director of Yakult Europe, the orchestra’s principal sponsor since 1993, for a brief speech.

The rehearsal is followed by a networking reception. We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring and unique experience.
