Nightlife Spot: Concertgebouw

In 1883 the construction for the Concertgebouw -Amsterdam's Concert Hall for classical music, designed by Adolf Leonard van Gendt- started. At the time the location was an empty polder. More than 2000 poles were used to give the foundations a solid anchor.

In 1888 the building was opened with music from Wagner, Händel, Bach and Beethoven.

From1985 till 1988 a new Main entrance was created at the J.W. Brouwersplein with a glass foyer designed by van Pi de Bruijn.

The performances are not limited to classical orchetra's; I've seen King Crimson perfrom at the main hall. Many more popgroups have been there too.
