The 19th century Basilica of St. Nicholas - recently magnificently restored and renovated - provides a prime setting for the 'high quality' musical goal.It is one of the most beautifully decorated churches in Amsterdam, has a fine acoustic and an excellent pipe organ. Its prime location (adjacent to Amsterdam's Central Station) makes it easily accessible for many.
The Stichting Muziek in de Nicolaas (SMN - the Music Foundation of the Basilica of St. Nicholas was established in 2000. Its purpose is to facilitate the use of the Basilica for the presentation of choral and instrumental music of a high standard. Two choirs in the Basilica alternate between the Choral Evensongs on Saturdays. Music is sung a cappella or with organ (Sauer organ or Klop positive organ) and varies from Renaissance polyphony to modern choral compositions.
**NB: Be sure to check the music list link (left column of this page) before travelling to the church, as there can often be discrepancies between that and the times on the calendar below.**
