ROTTERDAM, 30 January 2021 - On Sunday, 30 January, a double celebration was held for the Heerenhuyskamer Concerts in Het Park: the 10,000th visitor was welcomed to the first concert to take place after the lockdown. All visitors were treated to a festive cake by Dudok Patisserie and enjoyed a tango morning with 'Trio del Puerto'.
Popular tradition restored
Since 2018, live music has been performed in Het Park (also known as Euromast Park) every Sunday morning at the Heerenhuys. Het Park in Rotterdam has been a national monument since 2011 and has a long history with music; in the 19th century, concerts in the Heerensociëteit could regularly be heard in Het Park. With the Heerenhuys concerts at Dudok in Het Park, the manager of the Heerenhuys, a popular tradition has been restored to its former glory.
Safe and atmospheric
The atmospheric rooms of Dudok In Het Park have been set up to be pleasant and, above all, safe. In the appropriately named 'Parkzaal', the musicians play at a safe distance from the visitors. Every Sunday morning, you can visit a surprising concert featuring musicians who are always linked to Rotterdam. From pop to world music, and from jazz to classical.
