Biography
The Metropole Orkest is a jazz and pop orchestra based in the Netherlands, and is the largest full-time ensemble of its kind in the world. A hybrid orchestra, it combines jazz, big band and classical symphony orchestra styles. Comprising between 52 and 97 musicians, it is versatile across many musical forms, and is equipped with a "double rhythm section" – one for pop and rock, and one for jazz based music.
Channel description
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.
