Prinses Christina Concours – Lunchconcert prize winners
Classical music and jazz come together at the monthly lunchtime concerts by the Prinses Christina Concours in the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague. Young prize winners of this leading music platform step onto the stage and show exactly what they can do.
Lunching with live music is always a good idea. Every month, the Prinses Christina Concours invites a group of young prize winners to perform at the grand Nieuwe Kerk. These are musicians who have already proven their abilities and now get the chance to develop further on a real stage. The programme shifts between classical and jazz, from delicate to exuberant, depending on who is performing that day.
Prinses Christina Concours: a music competition with a mission
The Prinses Christina Concours is one of the most well-known music platforms for young people in the Netherlands. Alongside competitions for classical music, jazz and composition, it runs its own travelling concert hall, the Classic Express, and organises De Muziekwedstrijd for children aged 4 to 12. The underlying idea: music connects people, and the earlier you experience that, the better. The lunchtime concerts in The Hague are a direct expression of that vision, public and easily accessible.
Lunchtime concert at the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague
The Nieuwe Kerk on the Spui provides a special setting for these concerts. The acoustics, the architecture and the central location in the city make it a great place to pause and let the music surprise you. The lunchtime concert series is made possible by Stichting Sanssouci, Stichting Vrienden van het Prinses Christina Concours and an anonymous supporter. Holders of an Ooievaarspas receive a discount on the entry price.
