About us
Fabrieklassiek is an international concert series, which pushes the boundaries of conventional concerts. We create a unique and exciting experience for anyone who is willing to be taken into our world. Do you dare to join us?
At Fabrieklassiek we search for the most unusual and unlikely places to present the beauty of classical music. We show the contrast between the raw, unrefined space and sensitive classical music. This keeps the visitor surprised and captivated.
Besides the fact that our locations have great acoustics, the threshold to come and listen to classical music is much lower. The concerts are never longer than an hour and fifteen minutes and the audience is very diverse. Old buildings are also revived; what is a parking lot during the week can suddenly transform into a concert hall for a day!

"Raw, unrefined spaces and sensitive music"
We are always interested in collaborations with other parties and looking for new ways to bring our concept into the world. For example, we like to work with artists from other disciplines and we always provide fun next to the music.
