ADE Opening Concert: 24classics presents Philip Glass by Lavinia Meijer & Nikki Hock
24classics flips the script on classical music. We push boundaries, experiment, and connect craftsmanship with the future zeitgeist. This ADE, we're teaming up with harpist Lavinia Meijer and multidisciplinary artist Nikki Hock. Get lost in the hypnotic vibes of Philip Glass’s music and let the immersive performance take you on a unique journey.
Philip Glass is one of the founding fathers of minimal music. He transformed the world of classical music and, eventually, popular music. His use of repetitive sounds over long periods brings you into a meditative dreamlike state.
Lavinia Meijer had the honor of meeting him and received his permission to transcribe his music for harp. She mesmerizes audiences with these intense and ground-breaking renditions of his repertoire. Performed in venues worldwide (Carnegie Hall NYC, Berlin Philharmonie,The Royal Concert Hall), being one of the most important, pioneering and exciting musicians of our times.
Nikki Hock will bring the performance to the next level as he sculpts spaces and environments to create experiential landscapes. He engages with the present moment to create abstractions of memories and lived experiences. His work moves between reality and the metaphysical —in search of other worlds and new dimensions.
Take part in this unique journey at one of the two performances at h19:30 or h21:30.
Zuiderkerk, located in the heart of Amsterdam, is a historic church built between 1603 and 1611 in the Dutch Renaissance style. Today, it serves as a unique concert hall and multidisciplinary venue for all kinds of events.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other.
