The Metropole Orkest is a world-renowned jazz and pop orchestra based in the Netherlands, celebrated for its versatile collaborations across a wide spectrum of musical genres. Founded in 1945 by Dolf van der Linden as a radio orchestra, the Metropole Orkest has, over the years, become a staple in both the Dutch and international music scenes. The orchestra's unique sound is shaped by the blend of its jazz big band roots with symphonic strings, creating a lush, dynamic accompaniment or leading force, depending on the project.

Having worked with an impressive roster of artists and conductors, the Metropole Orkest is synonymous with innovation and excellence. Their expansive discography showcases an ability to adapt to various styles, with recent releases like "Benny Sings with the Metropole Orkest," highlighting their affinity for lush pop arrangements, and "That Night In Treme" underlining their dedication to the rich heritage of jazz. Equally adept at interpreting film scores, as demonstrated with "LAKSHMI & Metropole Orkest, conducted by Jules Buckley - No Time To Die," the orchestra continues to push the boundaries of contemporary and classical orchestration. The Metropole Orkest's commitment to diversity in music and excellence in performance keeps them at the forefront of the orchestral world, continually attracting new listeners with each innovative project.
