DNA
The Holland Festival identifies four core values that together form the DNA of the organisation. These are:
- Together we create the Holland Festival (attentive, socially engaged, open and welcoming)
- Leading
- Professional and driven
- Inclusive
Team
The Holland Festival office is located at the Muziekgebouw. A dedicated team of professionals works year-round on the festival across Programming, Production, Communications & Marketing, Development and Operations. Throughout the year, the team is supplemented by freelance producers, technicians, interns, volunteer archive staff and casual workers. In addition, the Holland Festival collaborates with many partners in and beyond Amsterdam, including theatres, concert halls, clubs, cultural partners, venues, hotels, suppliers and (district) municipalities.
