A unique meeting: Amsterdam Dance Event and Cello Biennale come together for one evening at Splendor. Cellist Emma Warmelink and composer/producer Arieh Chrem, known in the Amsterdam club scene as Cartopol, will bridge the gap between ADE and the Cello Biennale on October 18th.
Together, they will combine their talents to create an evening of groundbreaking music. In this unique performance, they will weave together the world of electronic music with the delicate complexity of classical instruments, with Emma and Isobel Warmelink showcasing their virtuosity on cello and violin. For this special occasion, Arieh Chrem has composed an entirely new work for violin, cello, and synthesizers, exploring the relationship between electronic and acoustic sounds within a space. The piece is deeply rooted in repetition — a principle closely tied to club culture.
Arieh Chrem's work will flow seamlessly into a carefully curated acoustic program for violin and cello, performed by Emma and Isobel Warmelink, featuring works by Ravel, Ligeti, and Saariaho. The evening will be framed by DJ sets from Cartopol, known for his boundary-pushing, genre-hopping approach. His sets will transport the audience into the world of left-field club music, guiding them through a mind-expanding night.

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.
