Breakfast Concerts at
the Bakery
Starting today, the Musical Instrument Foundation, in collaboration with De Bakkerswinkel (Amsterdam-Centrum), is organizing a series of six Sunday morning breakfast concerts. These concerts, which take place once every two months, are performed by musicians from the Foundation.
On these occasions, the Bakkerswinkel opens its doors to the public, who can enjoy a delicious Bakkerswinkel breakfast while taking in an informal concert in a cozy, home-like atmosphere.
Through the breakfast concerts, the Musical Instrument Foundation aims to provide young, talented borrowers with a stage where they can gain experience in performing concerts.
In addition, through these breakfast concerts, the Foundation offers the public the opportunity to get to know the borrowers from the Foundation and the instruments they play—all at a special time and in a unique location, right in the heart of Amsterdam.
