At the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten, there has been a musical tribute every year since 2006; a classical concert that befits the unique location. This in commemoration of the fallen soldiers who gave their lives in the Second World War for the liberation of the Netherlands, and to celebrate the liberation of the Netherlands in September 1944, which started in the south of Limburg.

The 16th Liberation Concert will take place on Sunday September 19. Because of corona measures, also this year, two identical concerts will be held. The cemetery is closed on Sunday September 19 for non-ticket holders. More info will follow soon.
