Back in the 1970s Queen broke the mold. Their earth-shattering songs like ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ made them household names and still, to this day, even a ten-year-old child will know their songs.
Those who profess not to like them can still be caught singing along to their songs when they think that nobody’s around to hear. There’s something irresistible and timeless about their music, and there’s a song for absolutely any occasion.
So who could resist a candlelit concert dedicated to this incredible quartet? Their music will fill the beautiful Rode Hoed, played by the talented Hydra Quartet string quartet and the venue will be filled with the warm glow of hundreds of candles.
Rode Hoed is one of Amsterdam’s most important buildings, brimming with history. It sits by the Keizersgracht, one of Amsterdam’s beautiful canals, and you’ll recognise it by the red hat (rode hoed) on the front of the building.
Its name is a tribute to the building’s past. Originally it served as a hat factory, then in the 17th century, a Remonstrant hidden church.
The church remained in use until after World War II and in 1989 Rode Hoed became a place for people to talk about life and all of its nuances. Now you can attend thrilling lectures on various aspects of religion, politics, culture, and more at Rode Hoed.
However, at this concert, you can expect to spend 60 minutes in the venue enjoying the beautiful renditions of Queen songs and you can book tickets for this wonderful concert here.
