Amsterdam Dance Event Director Richard Zijlma is looking forward

ADE Director Richard Zijlma is looking forward to the future: “The global electronic music scene is growing enormously, especially through various crossovers with other styles like classical, jazz and hip-hop. During ADE, all these styles come together for five days all over Amsterdam, making the city a breeding ground for cultural and technological innovation.”

It’s great to see that more and more professionals and music lovers from The Netherlands and abroad find their way to Amsterdam.

Zijlma’s hardest task now is visiting as much of ADE as possible. But it’s an almost impossible task, with almost a thousand events spread over the five days. “In particular, I look forward to the opening concert of Jameszoo & the Metropole Orchestra, the programs of ADE Tech and ADE Sound Lab and of course the Philip Glass concert and masterclass.”
