The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw has put big band music back on the map in the Netherlands. Since 1999 the Bigband has been the backbone of jazz programming at the Royal Concertgebouw and the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, alongside many other venues in the Netherlands. The orchestra focusses on innovation and new music but also makes the cultural heritage of almost a century of Dutch jazz accessible to new generations. The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw has won two Dutch Edison Awards for Crossroads(2019) and Blues for the Date(2010).
