Soundwave Collective is reintroducing regular concerts at the church, honoring the historic role of the orchestra and choir Zelus Pro Domo Dei. These ensembles flourished from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries and enriched the musical heritage of the venue. The building hosted events attended by important composers such as Camille Saint-Saëns, Franz Liszt and Pierre Boullez.

The Waterlooplein concerts connect the tradition of the building with contemporary heritage and present programs that combine historical repertoire with new reinterpretations, encouraging fresh arrangements for smaller ensembles, while respecting the original character of the works. Developed by our musicians themselves, this concert series concept offers a great opportunity to participate in the artistic direction and production of culture.

Moreover, the initiative strengthens ties between the Sant’Egidio Foundation, the city of Amsterdam and its diverse communities, creating an open cultural meeting place. In line with Sant’Egidio’s social mission, the project emphasizes inclusiveness and social responsibility and democratizes access to classical music for audiences in vulnerable situations. The project aims to establish the Moses and Aaron Church as a cultural meeting place in the heart of Amsterdam.
