De Doelen

Right in the middle of Rotterdam’s vibrant

city centre and at a stone’s throw from

the magnificent Central Station, you'll find

concert hall de Doelen.

De Doelen is home to the Rotterdam

Philharmonic Orchestra, with the very

young and talented conductor Lahav Shani at its helm.

But that is not all!

With over 600 concerts held annually, our

programming is delightfully varied, ranging from true crowd-pullers to concerts catering to connoisseurs, and from children’s concerts to performances of world music, jazz and hip-hop.

What’s more, de Doelen is the beating

heart of renowned cultural festivals such as the IFFR, Poetry International, Rotterdam Unlimited, HipHopHouse’s Make A Scene and RPhO’s Gergiev Festival.
