Credits for Jan Wolff
The new music scene in Amsterdam is in a state of change: some for the better and some for the worse. This one is about changes for the better (there is always time left for the worse).
The new music scene has to thank Jan Wolff for his not failing effort and energy a new concert hall is erected near Amsterdam Central Station. The Muziekgebouw (the Music building) houses the Bimhuis (jazz music), and a small and a large 750 seats concert hall for new music replacing the old public scaring Ysbreker.
The old Ysbreker (Icebreaker) could easily serve as an icebreaker since the small concert hall had extremely dry acoustics and the room would be unhealthy warm when filled with audience.
Last night was the opening night of the new Bimhuis. If it wasn't for my own premiere I would very much liked to have attended this happening.
Later in the year the other venues in the Muziekgebouw will get in to use as well, so there is opportunity for a rebound.
