Van Lanschot Kempen extends sponsoring of the Concertgebouw by three years

‘s-Hertogenbosch/Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 4 February 2022

The Royal Concertgebouw has received a sponsor commitment until 2025 from Van Lanschot Kempen. The oldest independent financial institution in the Netherlands has been the main sponsor of the concert venue since 2018. This partnership was instrumental in making performances possible in recent years, including the much-visited online concert series Empty Concertgebouw Sessions.

Maarten Edixhoven, Chair of the Management Board of Van Lanschot Kempen about this partnership: 'At Van Lanschot Kempen it is not only about financial wealth but also about cultural wealth. It is about preserving, protecting and encouraging the growth of all that is valuable. Music provides comfort, inspiration and joy; it is "the perfect kind of art” Oscar Wilde wrote long ago. The Concertgebouw brings people together and enriches their lives through superb musical experiences. We are therefore delighted to extend our partnership with the Concertgebouw by three years.’

Simon Reinink, Managing Director of the Concertgebouw: ‘In difficult times, you realise who your true friends are. This was again proven over the past period. While the Concertgebouw was closed to audiences due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were assured of the continued support of Van Lanschot Kempen. Their assistance enabled many musicians to perform for our online audiences during the Empty Concertgebouw Sessions. Despite many limitations, this allowed us to fulfil our shared ambition of enriching as many lives as possible with an unparalleled musical experience.’
