Music
in Amsterdam
- Melkweg - multimedia centre in Amsterdam
with live-music, theater, photography, cinema, special events and
parties.
- Paradiso - music venue in a beautiful
former church, but with relatively bad acoustics.
- Heineken Music Hall - larger-scale music
venue, best reached by train (train station Amsterdam Bijlmer)
or metro/subway.
- Concertgebouw - Famous for its orchestra
and its accoustics (among the top ten in the world), this is the
world's most frequently visited concert hall. Classical music is the
main fare, but they also bring other kinds of music on stage. They
have a free "lunch concert" Wednesdays from 12:30 to 1 pm.
In the same building is the "Kleine Zaal" or "Small
Hall" for more intimate performances, often top-notch also. The
building is near the major three museums on the Museum Square.
- Bimhuis - Piet Heinkade 3, 1019 BR.
World class jazz and improvised music venue, five minutes by foot from
Central Station. Tickets 14 to 18 euro.
- Last Waterhole - Light rock/funk jam
sessions in a dingy but atmospheric bar with pool tables.
