Joep Beving & Maarten Vos

Joep Beving (piano) and Maarten Vos (cello) made a new album together, "Vision of Contentment", which will be released in July on Nils Frahms’ LEITER label. The album is a minimalist, catchy collection of pieces about change, sorrow and beauty.


During ADE, Joep Beving and Maarten Vos will bring the album to life twice in The Concertgebouw’s Recital Hall, with a first performance at hr19:00 and a second performance at hr21:30.


The album follows work together on 2019’s "Henosis", Beving’s third album, which came about after the two musicians shared a bill in Amsterdam in 2018. Mixed by Frahm at LEITER studio in the German capital’s famed Funkhaus complex, where Vos also has his studio, the LP contains eight brand new compositions.


While Beving’s never recorded an entire album with another artist before, Vos has regularly engaged in such activities, sharing credits with artists such as Julianna Barwick, Nicolas Godin (AIR) and Alex Smoke. For Beving, it was a natural step to take, and arguably overdue. “Doing an album from scratch as a joint project was something Maarten and I wanted to try for a while now,” he says. “When my deal came to an end, we saw an opportunity to start making music. I’m always trying to create small worlds for the listener to temporarily live in. Working with Maarten and Nils has helped immensely in achieving this. Maarten is a sculptor of sound and Nils is, well...the master of sound!”

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.

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.
