Magical moments

When the sun goes down behind Central Station, warm sounds caress your ears, coming from a rooftop in Amsterdam-Noord. The spectacular setting and intimate atmosphere of our summer venue form the perfect conditions for artists to create magical moments in a dynamic interaction with the audience.

International flavors of Amsterdam

For over 10 years, On the Roof has been home to the colorful, diverse music scene of Amsterdam and special guests from abroad every year between June and September. Artists you may know or would like to discover, are exploring and sometimes crossing the borders of jazz, global sounds and improvised music in authentic intimate performances. What started as a somewhat crazy idea born out of passion has become a faithful summer rendezvous to discover new music, hear your favorite artists, enjoy the beautiful sunset and meet with friends.

On The Roof - Cacha Mundinho (family concert)

Born in Istanbul, Emine Bostancı is an award-winning classical Kemenche and Cretan Lyra artist, composer, and academic. Her project ‘Dareyn‘ merges the mystical sound of the kemenche, rooted in traditional music from Istanbul and the Silk Road, with the resonant tones of the cello in a contemporary approach.

With Dareyn, Emine Bostanci and Maya Fridman combine their vocal and instrumental talents to create a unique, enchanting soundscape. The repertoire is inspired by the beauty of modality, the dynamic character of bows, and the rich world of rhythms. Their music creates dialogues in which the existence of unspoken stories is present in the imagination of every listener.

Echoes of the Silk Road is the newest musical endeavour of Turkish Kemenche player Emine Bostanci. As  the only professional musician in Europe playing the Kemenche, a traditional Turkish folk instrument, Emine has made it her higher goal in life to also compose for the instrument and bring together the cultural worlds of East and West. Next to Dareyn, her long-lasting collaboration with cellist Maya Fridman and guest musicians, Emine’s new project turns her sight farther to the east, with a collaboration with two Korean musicians blending Korean and Turkish classical music with jazz and Western classical music. Their concert On the Roof is a World Première you don’t want to miss.
