Metropole Orkest director Jan Geert Vierkant on 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 shown at ADE and recently with the released track Conquerors how great this fusion can be. We are therefore very proud of this special collaboration.”
ADE director Richard Zijlma about the crossover: “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.”
