Eefje de Visser (unplugged) | Van Gogh Museum

Kicking off the series of Opening Concerts is an intimate, unplugged performance by the acclaimed and award winning Dutch singer-songwriter Eefje de Visser. Set within the serene, glass-walled atrium of the Van Gogh Museum, Eefje’s music is stripped back to its purest form accompanied only by guitar, piano, and vocalists, creating an ethereal atmosphere offering a unique blend of visual art and music.

 

COCON II by Nick Verstand x Cello Octet Amsterdam | Door Open Space
In a stunning fusion of classical music and cutting-edge technology, audiovisual artist Nick Verstand and Cello Octet Amsterdam present a truly one-off performance. Hosted at the vast Door Open Space warehouse, COCON II will feature a captivating interplay between musicians and eight robotic arms, which will create dynamic three-dimensional light shapes. This second iteration of the COCON project is custom-designed for ADE, promising an immersive and trance-inducing experience that blurs the lines between art and technology.

 

Greetje Bijma X Oceanic + LUXE (live) | Bimhuis
Bimhuis will host an extraordinary collaboration between legendary free jazz singer Greetje Bijma and electronic music artist Oceanic, for a meeting of improvisational jazz and leftfield techno set to create a sonic landscape that defies genre boundaries. Following their set, London-based producer LUXE will take the stage, delivering a live performance that blends classical music with contemporary electronic sounds.

 

50 Years of J Dilla x Metropole Orkest | Melkweg
Concluding the series is the previously announced tribute to one of the most influential producers in hip-hop history, J Dilla. Celebrating 50 years of his legacy, the renowned Metropole Orkest, in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, will reinterpret J Dilla’s groundbreaking work in a way that’s never been heard before. Held at Melkweg, this concert marks the eighth consecutive year that Metropole Orkest has opened ADE.
