On Friday, you can catch Anneke van Giersbergen with Philzuid on Stadhuisplein. On Saturday, you can get introduced to classical music through a mini-course, or get hands-on with music yourself during a free workshop led by music teachers.

Music connects

With nearly 220,000 visitors per year, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven is thé venue for encounters: with music, international top musicians and artists, and with fellow culture enthusiasts.

Muziekgebouw Eindhoven stands for connection through music. Our mission is to bring people together by offering a stage for a broad musical diversity and cross-pollination with other art forms. In a changing world, where cohesion is becoming increasingly important, we believe that music can unite people and cultures, transcending boundaries.
