Bimhuis: The Musical Black Box of Amsterdam
The Bimhuis, housed in an antique furniture shop, was founded by a group of innovative musicians who wanted to create a thriving venue for impromptu performances.
Many music festivals and posh Jazz clubs have their roots in Amsterdam. The booming Jazz culture continues to draw people in throughout the year. A rich heritage that began in the seventeenth century, with many of the Jazz clubs that were established at the time remaining in operation today. What’s it like to visit a city that presents a new concert virtually every week, if you ask me? Absolutely fantastic, I’d say!
In reality, the top jazz musicians from across the world are invited to both Amsterdam and Rotterdam! And these musicians play in some of Holland’s most prestigious restaurants, cafés, and clubs, which promote a relaxing atmosphere while showcasing some inventive musical sounds.
The Bimhuis, housed in an antique furniture shop, is one such elegantly sumptuous 19th-century club. This stunning black box of Jazz was founded by a group of innovative musicians who wanted to create a thriving venue for impromptu performances. If you want to socialise, participate, or get up close and personal with the musicians by the lake, here is the place to go. You may not only have a captivating dinner with a magnificent view from inside this remarkable contemporary restaurant with exceptional acoustics, but you can also join the bi-weekly class if you plan your trip well in advance.
Everything draws your attention, from the unique architecture to the small, well-crafted menu to the performances. In 2017, the Bimhuis hosted the 17th edition of the Sonic Acts Festival. You won’t realise what a wonderful city Amsterdam is until you visit this riverfront performance theatre.
