Metropole Orkest
When you think of an orchestra, you think classical music. That’s not the Metropole Orkest (MO). Playing jazz, pop, world music and film scores, the orchestra has shared the stage with legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, and Bono. It also collaborates with contemporary talents like Kovacs, Within Temptation, Snarky Puppy, Gregory Porter, Jacob Collier, Cory Wong, and DOMi & JD BECK. Together with chief conductor Jules Buckley, the orchestra explores the boundaries of contemporary symphonic pop and jazz. The orchestra releases dozens of recordings each year. In addition to the many concerts, the Metropole Orkest regularly records albums with (inter-)national artists. It has also contributed to thousands of radio and TV broadcasts. Over the years, Metropole Orkest received no less than 24 Grammy nominations and worked on 4 Grammy-winning productions. Most recently for ‘Best Contemporary Instrumental Album’ in 2016 with Snarky Puppy en in 2020 for the recording of Jacob Collier’s ‘All Night Long’ (Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals). As the world’s leading pop and jazz orchestra, the Metropole Orkest is always looking to experiment and to be part of spectacular performances. The Metropole Orkest moves audiences. That is, after all, the real purpose of music.
