The Prinsengrachtconcert is an annual open-air concert of classical music held annually in August since 1981 on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam. The orchestra is situated on a pontoon anchored in front of the Hotel Pulitzer; much of the audience watches and listens from boats. Traditionally the concert is closed with a rendition of one of the city's anthems, "Aan de Amsterdamse grachten".[1]
Since 1984 it is televised by the AVRO. Since 1998 it is part of the Grachtenfestival, though still independently organized; the first Prinsengrachtconcert on ice was held in February 2012.
