Live! at the Concertgebouw

October 2007 marked the beginning of a new era for Radio Netherlands' classical music concert series Live! at the Concertgebouw. After more than 21 years of radio broadcasts, Live! at the Concertgebouw expanded to year-round programming with 52, two-hour weekly episodes. Hans Haffmans continues to host this weekly series and since 2007, he has been joined on the air by a select group of musicians and radio personalities. These co-hosts have their roots in the US and in the Netherlands and together with Hans discuss performances, interview artists and reflect on Holland's exciting and diverse classical music world.

Each program has an individual theme, adding enrichment and surprise to the week's concert. Interviews with artists and commentators are interwoven with the performances, giving audiences a richer and more informative Live! at the Concertgebouw series.

What remains the same in Live! at the Concertgebouw are the phenomenal performances recorded at Amsterdam's concert hall known round the world for its exceptional acoustics.
