Liminal Realms

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 draw the audience into a continuous flow of sound, where the seamless blend of electronic and acoustic elements creates a deep connection between the digital and human emotion. Listeners will be transported into an organic musical world full of expression, as Emma and Isobel Warmelink’s cello and violin transform digital rhythms. The evening will unfold like a journey without clear boundaries, immersing the audience in a fluid, ever-evolving soundscape.


Program:

• 20:15 – Introductory DJ set by Cartopol
• 21:15 – Premiere of a new work by Arieh Chrem for violin, cello, and synthesizers
• 21:40 – Works by Saariaho, Ligeti, and Ravel for solo cello and violin duo
• 22:00 until end – DJ set by Cartopol


Please note that the timings are approximate, and the evening will wrap up at a flexible time.

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. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
