On Thursday 18 October 2018 Hardwell will host a unique concert with the Metropole Orkest at Amsterdam’s iconic Ziggo Dome. During ‘Symphony: The Global Revolution of Dance’, the world-famous DJ, together with the world’s leading pop & jazz orchestra, will take the audience on a musical journey through the history of dance music. An all ages concert that starts with the rise of dance music in the 80’s and ends with the mega hits of today. The pre-sale for this one-off show during Amsterdam Dance Event starts on Friday, June 15th at 10am CET, with the worldwide ticket sale opening on June 18th at 10am via www.djhardwell.com/symphony.



Hardwell and the multiple Grammy Award winning Metropole Orkest, recently announced their collaboration with the release of the track ‘Conquerors’. With the addition of this unique concert for an all-age audience, the collaboration reaches a high point that can be seen and heard live at the Ziggo Dome. The spectacular show of the legendary DJ and the Metropole Orchestra is characterized by the composition of different music periods, from the 80s to the present. Hits will include various world stars from Donna Summer to Tiësto and Carl Cox to Daft Punk.
“With this show a dream comes true. Together with the Metropole Orkest, which is the most versatile orchestra in the world, I have created something special in which the audience can not only enjoy a musical spectacle, but also visually see something unprecedented.", says Hardwell.
Director Jan Geert Vierkant of the Metropole Orkest about the collaboration: “It is great to have a large audience get acquainted with various styles of dance over the years in combination with the orchestra with a world talent like Hardwell. In the past we have already showed at ADE and recently with the released track ‘Conquerors’ how great this fusion can be. We are therefore very proud of this special collaboration.” 
Richard Zijlma, Director ADE about the cross over: “At ADE, we always look for the limits of the electronic spectrum. The collaboration between Hardwell and the Metropole Orkest is a good addition in that respect and I am convinced that it will also be successful, because Hardwell is not only a DJ, but also an excellent composer. I think it’s wonderful that music can join forces in this way, doing justice to the ‘legacy’ of all those years of incredible dance music.”

The Metropole Orkest and the Dutch modular synth artist Colin Benders will jointly participate in the opening concert of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) of 2018. This takes place on Wednesday 17th October in the Melkweg. Ticket sales start on Saturday, June 9th at 10:00.

After the successful composition and performance of Scripted Orkestra with Henrik Schwarz in 2016 and Fool with Jameszoo in 2017, the Metropole Orkest (MO) will return to the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), an initiative of Buma. The Grammy award-winning orchestra will once again organise the opening concert in the Melkweg this year and for this edition it will join forces with the Dutch modular synth artist Colin Benders (formerly known as Kyteman). Although he has distanced himself from his much-loved trumpet playing and orchestral events generally, he is experimenting with the Metropole Orkest (MO) under the direction of chief conductor Jules Buckley.

Starting point are Colin's livestreams with his 'machine' that he has recently launched. During these sessions, he improvised original electronic music from scratch. How this music will be translated into a live performance with full orchestra is still a question mark, but with the talent and experience of Colin and the urge for experimentation and improvisation of the MO under Jules Buckley. the partnership could well be a dream match.
Said Benders: "Jules and I have been talking about a joint project for years, but I never expected my electronics to be the trigger. This makes it a very exciting project that I look forward to with great anticipation.”
The event is also accessible to people in possession of an ADE Pass.

About Colin Benders
Colin Benders celebrated many years of success under the name Kyteman. With his Kyteman Orchestra he played at a multitude of festivals and he toured through the Netherlands and Europe over several years. Since 2016 Benders has been completely absorbed by his modular synthesisers. From his studio, he takes the audience on his musical quest through livestreams. He also performs regularly in the Netherlands at venues like Het Concertgebouw but also at festivals like Awakenings and Lowlands, as well as abroad

About the Metropole Orchestra
When you think of an orchestra, you probably think of classical music. But the Metropole Orkest (MO) does jazz, pop, soul, funk, cabaret, musicals, film music and world music. The MO shared the stage with celebrities such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, The Basement Jaxx and Bono. The orchestra also plays with contemporary talents such as Caro Emerald, Robert Glasper, Within Temptation, Woodkid, The Opposites and Gregory Porter. Together with the young British conductor Jules Buckley, the MO constantly pushes the boundaries of contemporary symphonic pop and jazz.

The Amsterdam Dance Event takes place from the 17th to 21st of October, 2018.

About ADE

The Amsterdam Dance Event is organised by the Amsterdam Dance Event Foundation, an initiative of Buma.
