Young talent pays tribute to classical masters on the first Monday morning of the month; that is the concept of Voorlinden Classic. The successful concert series returns on 1 September 2025 for a new season, running until 1 June 2026. The concerts will be held in the museum’s auditorium and afterwards you can visit the exhibitions. The programme of Voorlinden Classic is made together with Stichting Eigen Muziekinstrument.

September 1, 2025 Fontana Quartet & Michel Xie

October 6, 2025 Kasper Schonewille
With a sonata by Joseph Haydn alongside works by Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann, pianist Kasper Schonewille demonstrates why he has won first prizes at competitions such as the Princess Christina Competition and the Rotterdam Piano Three-Day Festival.
November 10, 2025 Mirage Trio
Flute, cello, and harp form a golden combination—and that is exactly what the Mirage Trio offers. The forward‑thinking ensemble, that is part of the Dutch Metrople Orkest, loves to blend tradition with innovation and presents works by Joseph Jongen, Kaija Saariaho, and Maurice Ravel.

February 2, 2026 Flare Quartet
The string players of the Flare Quartet blend Thomas Adès’s utopian musical idyll with the subversive cheer of Dmitri Shostakovich, alongside a contemporary work by young composer Aftab Darvishi about the evolution between shadow and light.
March 2, 2026 Marigold Piano Quartet
Inspired by the marigold—known for its resilience and vivid energy—the Marigold Piano Quartet brings warmth, color, and intensity on (alto) violin, cello, and piano. At Voorlinden they bring works by Mozart and Dvořák to life.
April 13, 2026 Kalina Vladovska & Maat Saxophone Quartet
The Maat Saxophone Quartet and percussionist Kalina Vladovska have joined forces to perform fast, challenging passages from the classical repertoire. Together they offer an exhilarating musical journey full of rich timbres from percussion and saxophones.
May 4, 2026 Dudok Quartet
The string players of the Dudok Quartet—named after the Dutch architect—perform Joseph Haydn’s Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze. Haydn’s work is demanding, but this young quartet plays it entirely from memory! (photo: Green Room Creatives/Yuri Andries)
