The world's leading pop & jazz orchestra
Over ons
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 Metropole Orkest has shared the stage with legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, The Basement Jaxx and Bono. The MO invests just as much in playing with the next generation of stars like Caro Emerald, Laura Mvula, Robert Glasper, Woodkid, Snarky Puppy and Gregory Porter. Under the helm of the young British chief conductor Jules Buckley Metropole Orkest seeks to challenge boundaries of current symphonic pop and jazz. The Metropole Orkest is a regular guest on The Netherlands’ main stages such as the Amsterdam Paradiso, The Concertgebouw and has played in both the Barbican and Royal Albert Hall in London. The Orkest also plays many festivals including North Sea Jazz, BBC Proms, Holland Festival, Pinkpop and Lowlands, to name but a few. In recent years, the Metropole Orkest won 3 Grammy Awards and received 17 Grammy Nominations. The Metropole Orkest has produced more than 150 albums and thousands of radio and television broadcasts, requiring over 600 arrangements per year in every imaginable style. Despite this musical versatility, people all over the world can recognise inimitable sound, style and identity of the Metropole Orkest. 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. Chief conductor: Jules Buckley Honorary conductor: Vince Mendoza The Metropole Orkest has a track record of working with versatile chief conductors. Beginning with its founder Dolf van der Linden, subsequent holders of this position are Rogier van Otterloo, Dick Bakker and Vince Mendoza. In 2013 the dynamic young British conductor Jules Buckley was appointed as the Metropole Orkest’s newest chief conductor.

The Metropole Orkest welcomes Jules Buckley back as chief conductor. Under his first tenure as leader of the orchestra from 2013-2020 Jules led the orchestra to multiple grammy nominations and collaborations including Gregory Porter, Tori Amos, Bokanté, Henrik Schwarz, Markus Stockhausen, Michael Kiwanuka and Snarky Puppy (honoured with a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Album for ‘Sylva’ in 2016) to name a few. As an artist known for bringing music from genres as broad as Jazz to Dance to avant-garde to orchestras on the most prestigious stages, Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest have a special synergy, as Jules described: “It’s a joy to work with The Metropole Orkest. The orchestra is special because it’s a full time jazz and pop orchestra and so when it comes to groove playing or the understanding of Swing, the Blues, the orchestra has a distinctive sound.” Jules has helped solidify the orchestras international reputation at the BBC Proms, with memorable performances with the likes of Quincy Jones, Jacob Collier and Laura Mvula and celebrations of musical legacies including Nina Simone and Charles Mingus. What’s next for the Metropole with Jules Buckley back at the helm? Buckley talks of continuing to break new ground with collaborations and how “The orchestra is always striving to work with the most current artists and that’s part of their signature sound. Balancing that we will be looking after the legacy of jazz music and pop music at the same time”. Their latest project together in November 2023, saw the orchestra with Jules at the helm delve into a world of bold and playful experimentation with genre-bending jazz duo DOMi and JD Beck, showing a statement of intent for the year to come. Managing Director of the Metropole Orkest Jan Geert Vierkant: “For us it is a great honour to have Jules Buckley return as chief conductor, since he has extensively proven in the past to have a clear insight in what’s hip and happening in the musical scene.”

Twee weken gelden ontvingen we samen met Globe CKC 250 vmbo-leerlingen. Het ideale publiek voor 'Games in Concert: The Score'. Ze speelden een speciaal ontworpen game, hun scores bepaalden ‘The Score’: de muziek die het orkest speelt. Het resultaat is een vernieuwende en hilarische concertervaring, waarin publiek en orkest samenwerken. Vanaf 18 januari te beleven in Zwolle, Eindhoven, Nijmegen, Enschede en Amsterdam, zie www.mo.nl/games voor data en locaties! Het bezoek en de workshops die Globe CKC op school organiseert worden mogelijk gemaakt vanuit de regeling impuls jongerencultuur 2023-2024 van de Gemeente Hilversum .
