Sunshine and summer sounds meet in the open air. The Zuiderpark Summer Concert connects young and old, classical and light-hearted, neighbourhood and city.

Immerse yourself in an enchanting evening of music and love, embraced by the city. Take a seat in the park among your fellow city dwellers, and discover how light-hearted, dramatic and flirtatious classical music can be. The Zuiderparkzomerconcert brings all of The Hague together in the heart of summer.

Today, the park is all about romance and drama. Tchaikovsky wrote his Overture fantasy about the world's most famous love couple: Romeo and Juliet. With the expansive sounds of alto oboe and violas, you can feel a restless longing awakening, while the horns, heartbreakingly sighing, make their counter voice heard - a melody you can drown in. Before it, your heart is happily enlightened too, with the traditionally playful Hungarian sounds of Zoltán Kodály with his masterpiece Dances from Galanta and, as an opening, Dvořák's vibrant Carnival sounds. Conductor Kerem Hasan connects generations and musical styles this evening under the sultry Hague summer sky.

The Zuiderpark Summer Concert is part of Symphony 2030 - RO in de Wijk, an initiative of the Residentie Orkest. Under the banner RO in de Wijk, the orchestra connects young and old, local residents and the city with the power of music.
