About the production house
Leading the way
At Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, musicians and creators have the opportunity to perform in an exceptional setting for an engaged and diverse audience of music lovers. However, we want to do more than just present programmes; we also want to play an active role in the creation of innovative and ground-breaking programmes. For this reason, we launched the Muziekgebouw Production House in 2023. It is a place where creators can bring their artistic visions to life, while we provide the support they need to lead the way. This, in turn, ensures that the Muziekgebouw also remains at the forefront of producing cutting-edge and relevant programmes.
You do not programme this, you create this
To be ahead of the curve requires driving development, daring to experiment, seeing talent and offering support. Through the Production House, we aim to foster the growth of creators, music and the creative landscape that is part of it. We provide a fertile environment for mid-career creators to freely experiment, research, test, and ultimately excel. This benefits not only the creator, but also contributes to the growth of the Muziekgebouw itself. It is how we continue to be at the forefront of the (inter)national music scene.
Mission and vision
Mission:
"We want to be at the forefront of music production. Our goal is to propel creators, the industry, and music as a whole forward by embracing experimentation and by pioneering (new) developments. The production house thus creates a platform for fresh sounds and a new audience."
Vision:
"The Muziekgebouw Production House will be a leading centre for music production, bringing together musicians and audiences to explore and develop new ideas."
Opportunities for creators
Each year, the Muziekgebouw Production House supports a select group of creators. Not only in the area of the production and development of music and concerts, but also in marketing and other related areas. We support both large-scale (co)productions, like studio projects with promising potential, and smaller projects that are still in the developmental stage. We provide creators with the time and space they need to experiment and grow. Offering a platform and an audience for a diverse range of creative talents and societal perspectives.
The Muziekgebouw Production House supports creators in the artistic process, production, the actual facilities and audience outreach/marketing. We are equally ambitious in this regard and want to lead the way. This is only possible through close collaboration with creators. We expect our creators to be as eager as we are to undertake this experiment and share our ambition to be pioneers.
