Back

Baritone Raoul Steffani, winner of the Jury Prize of the Grachtenfestival Conservatorium Concours in 2016 opens trading at the Amsterdam exchange and marks the start of Grachtenfestival Amsterdam.

Raoul Steffani will perform in the Uilenburger Shul, during the upcoming festival on Monday, August 15th at 4pm. The jury of the contest said the following about Raoul Steffani: "The award goes to someone who surprised us with his performance and skills at such young age, with his beautiful voice, good diction and storytelling”.

The theme of this year’s Grachtenfestival is 'Bridging'. Not only does it this meaning to bridge between distances, for example, with traveling for a concert in IJmuiden, but also bridging between genres. Besides classical music, visitors can also enjoy jazz concerts, Syrian classical music and Argentine tango. As usual, this year features the famous House, Garden and Rooftop Concerts in beautiful houses along the Amsterdam canals.

The Grachtenfestival is the stage for young talent from all over the world. During the largest classical music festival in the Netherlands they treat the public to unique concerts for young and old. Enjoy ten days of swirling classical music throughout Amsterdam. One of the main sponsors is the Euronext listed Heineken (ticker symbol: HEIA)
