With its illustrious sound, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (RCO) has been one of the very best orchestras in the world for over 130 years. Shaped in part by the unique acoustic properties of the Concertgebouw’s main hall, the RCO has gained its unique international position with its ‘velvet’ strings, ‘golden’ brass, and the exceptional and personal timbre of the woodwinds. We are honored three of the orchestra’s top musicians will join us for the Ambassadors’ Awards Dinner with an exclusive concert for attendees of the Dinner.
The Silent Auction is now LIVE until May 24, 2023, 10:30 pm EDT
