SEASON 8 - March 2026

THANK YOU FOR SOUNDS OF THE SEASONS

In March 2026 we brought Sounds of the Seasons to House of Woodstock in Amsterdam Noord, closing our eighth season. The programme spanned multiple styles and musical eras, featuring works such as Rachmaninoff’s Adagio, Waves of the Danube and more.
Alongside full orchestral pieces, smaller chamber ensembles offered intimate musical moments throughout the evening. A heartfelt thank you to every musician, volunteer and audience member who made it so special.
