Royal Concertgebouw
Since 2018, Van Lanschot Kempen has sponsored Amsterdam’s iconic concert hall: the Royal Concertgebouw. Its mission – to connect and enrich people with an unparalleled musical experience – aligns with our own ambition to contribute to the preservation and creation of our cultural heritage. There are many ways in which we support the Royal Concertgebouw in making classical music and concerts more accessible to the people in our community.
A celebratory renewal
A unique setting to renew our main sponsorship of The Concertgebouw to 2028: their stage, for once, placed next to our office along the A10 during the celebration of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary in 2025.

Acoustic sessions
Homed in a unique, intimate space, the Royal Concertgebouw’s acoustic sessions are a rare treat. In this special edition, Nikola Meeuwsen (winner of the 2019 Young Talent Award), plays Schumann's 14th movement from "Piano Carnival" at our headquarters in 's-Hertogenbosch.
