Biography
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Dutch: Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest) is a symphony orchestra of the Netherlands, based at the Royal Concertgebouw (concert hall) in Amsterdam. In 1988, Queen Beatrix conferred the "Royal" title upon the orchestra. It is considered one of the world's leading orchestras, having topped numerous polls. The Concertgebouw opened on 11 April 1888.
The Concertgebouw Orchestra was established several months later, and gave its first concert in the Concertgebouw on 3 November 1888, conducted by the orchestra's first chief conductor, Willem Kes.
