We conclude the anniversary year with a musical tribute by renowned Dutch artists to the birthday city. The concert is titled National Celebration of Amsterdam 750 Years and will be broadcast live on Monday evening, October 27, from 8:30 PM via NOS on NPO 1. The event will be hosted by actress and presenter Holly Mae Brood and Daan Schuurmans, actor and narrator of The Story of the Netherlands – Amsterdam.
Famous Dutch artists, including Yves Berendse, Karsu, Kris Kross Amsterdam, Maan, and Wibi Soerjadi, will deliver a diverse program: from classical to pop, from Dutch-language music to dance. They will perform in surprising duos, with one artist performing on the stage of a large dome tent at Museumplein and another artist performing from an iconic location in the city. NOS reporters Dione de Graaff and Matthijs Weststrate will provide live coverage of the concert. The broadcast will air from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM on NPO 1.
The audience at Museumplein will consist of invited guests, including many Amsterdammers who actively contributed to the anniversary year’s activities. The concert serves as the festive finale to a year filled with hundreds of initiatives across the city, large and small, for young and old, focusing on the city’s past, present, and future.
