Unfortunately, the NPO Radio 4 Christmas concert has to take place without an audience this year due to coronation measures. But don't worry: you can still watch the concert on NPO Radio 4 via nporadio4.nl/live. At 19:00 the broadcast starts with a support act, from 20:00 the live concert starts. Presentation: Ab Nieuwdorp. On 24 December at 20.30 hrs the concert will be broadcasted on NPO2 Extra and you can watch it afterwards on NPO Start.
