About Akoesticum
Our vision and mission
We are Akoesticum
The first and only training centre for music, dance and theatre in the Netherlands.
From the opening in January 2015, guests and visitors from home and abroad come to us to practise, train, eat and stay overnight. A number of special projects have since renamed us a permanent training venue, including the Concertgebouw Orchestra Young and the Australian Youth Orchestra.
Akoesticum believes that art is indispensable for human development and connection in society. Art stimulates creativity and imagination and brings people together. With this in mind, the foundation wants to contribute to a better society with the performing arts as its commitment.
Akoesticum aims to be a sanctuary for performing artists to come together, rehearse, learn, create, experiment, innovate and inspire each other. A location that offers peace and space, where growth and development of performing artists are central, and creative collaborative processes flourish outside the frenzy of the day. An open house and meeting place for artists and audiences of all ages and cultures; an incubator where inspiring encounters and artistic exchange result in surprising art forms and performances.
