Squire Artists launches a new series of concerts

Het Concertgebouw

We are happy to announce that Squire Artists will once again be organising a number of concerts under its own management. In addition to our contribution to the annually recurring Februari Festival in The Hague, we believe that - considering all the turbulent events of the past six months - there is no better time than the present for us to develop an initiative of our own.

The first two concerts will be held at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Recital Hall on Sunday, 1 November 2020. Soprano Aylin Sezer & conductor/pianist Ed Spanjaard and the Malevich Piano Quartet (in collaboration with the Orlando Festival) will both be presenting their programme twice on this date. All the necessary information about concert times, programmes and tickets can be found on the Concertgebouw website.
