In September, Metropole Orkest (MO) and Amsterdams Andalusisch Orkest (AAO) jointly invite the Palestinian singer, composer and flutist Nai Barghouti for a series of concerts. Together they intertwine the music that is a reflection of Nai’s roots and her life in Amsterdam. A colorful and surprising mix of Arabic classics, her own compositions and jazz.
See www.mo.nl/aao for dates and info.
Nai Barghouti was born in 1996 in Jeruzalem in a very musical family. From an early age she plays the flute (the instrument after which she is named) and develops a unique sound with her voice by interweaving ornaments that you know from Arabic music with vocal improvisation from jazz: NaiStrumentation.
Nai: “It is a layered ornamental technique in which I use my voice as an instrument through a unique combination of musical elements. It enables me to seamlessly move between genres, especially Arabic music and jazz.”

vincemendozametropoleorkest.lnk.to/Olympians
Metropole Orkest releases a new album on Modern Recordings with compositions by honorary conductor and seven-time Grammy winner Vince Mendoza. Works he wrote for the orchestra during his 28 years with the orchestra.
Master arranger Vince Mendoza first conducted the Metropole Orkest in 1995. The starting point for a sustainable collaboration. In 2005 he succeeded Dick Bakker as chief conductor and brought fantastic soloists and projects to Hilversum.“The term Olympians”, Mendoza explains, referring to the album’s title, “is something that I use quite often while on the podium with the Metropole as I feel that this orchestra continues to play difficult music with grace, enthusiasm, and accuracy, especially given the wide scope of the projects they have done over the years. They’ve really developed the ability to be comfortable with so many different styles of music which is quite unusual for an orchestra. This recording shows them at the height of their Olympian powers.”
‘Olympians’ was recorded when the orchestra was unable to give concerts. Drummer and co-producer Martijn Vink: “We are used to play a different project every week. Now we suddenly had the time to really take the time to explore Vince’s best compositions and record their ultimate versions.”
The album features guest appearances from vocalists Dianne Reeves and Cécile McLorin Salvant, saxophonists Chris Potter and David Binney, percussionist Alex Acuña, and the late guitarist Ramón Stagnaro (charango). But the soloists in the orchestra – Arlia de Ruiter, Marc Scholten, Rik Mol, Hans Vroomans, Leo Janssen, Paul van der Feen and Peter Tiehuis – also shine on ‘Olympians’.

There is a beautiful and terrifying giant that lives in space, 150 million kilometers from Earth. A giant that provides light, warmth and nourishment to life on the earth, in the oceans and in the air. But the giant could also endanger our modern technological society with powerful solar flares. So while the sun has been a source of inspiration since the dawn of human civilization, we must do our best to better understand the giant.
Metropole Orkest and the European Space Agency (ESA) are joining forces to pay tribute to this extraordinary celestial body. Using the most beautiful music inspired by the sun and fascinating images from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, ESA scientist Mark McCaughrean takes you on a space mission.
Solar Orbiter, a mission of the European Space Agency in collaboration with NASA, was launched in February 2020 and is now in orbit around the sun. Never before have people been able to take pictures so close and also study the polar regions of the sun. In the coming years, scientists hope to use the data that Solar Orbiter collects to answer some profound questions about the behavior of the sun. Questions that are important for all mankind, after all, we are all ‘children of the Sun’.

Donny McCaslin, saxophone
Metropole Orkest conducted by Jules Buckley
Jason Lindner, keys
Ryan Dahle, vocals and guitar
In his quest to explore new territories in music, tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin joins the world’s leading pop & jazz orchestra Metropole Orkest for 3 genre-defying concerts in The Netherlands in April 2019.
Donny McCaslin is probably best known for his acclaimed work as a band leader on David Bowie’s ‘Blackstar’. Inspired by the late legend’s words and vision McCaslin explores a new artistic approach. “Before working with him, things like this didn’t seem possible to me,” McCaslin says. This becomes apparent in the music on his newly released album ‘Blow.’ (Motéma Music, October 2018), a fearlessly diverse album that blends jazz, alt-rock and electronics.
For the gigs with Metropole Orkest (led by then chief conductor Jules Buckley.) Donny is joined by the wonderful Jason Lindner on keys and singer/guitarist Ryan Dahle. The setlist will feature work from ‘Blow.’ and earlier work by McCaslin.

Metropole Orkest returns to the Melkweg on 19 October 2022 for the official opening concert of the Amsterdam Dance Event. This year’s collaborator is the electronic music pioneer and ‘Diva of the Diode’ Suzanne Ciani. Ciani will lead the Metropole Orkest into her mesmerizing quadraphonic world of electronic music.
Suzanne Ciani, trained as a classical composer, became a pioneer of electronic modular performance in the late 1960s, performing live concerts on the analog modular Buchla synthesizer. She also carved out a spot for herself as an acclaimed sound designer for films, games, and advertising. Having released over twenty solo albums, the 2018 album “LIVE Quadraphonic” led her back into performing live all around the world on the Buchla 200e. The instrument is the modern version of the analog modular synthesizer that Suzanne played throughout the 1970s, designed by visionary Don Buchla.
The one-off performance with Metropole Orkest at the Melkweg will feature Ciani controlling the spatial movement of the sound in a quadraphonic speaker set up. Four equally powered speakers in opposite corners will create a hypnotic surround sound experience where electronic and acoustic instruments are intertwined.
Piano solo by Hans Vroomans. Soprano sax solo by Marc Scholten. Vocal solo by Maria Mendes.
Composition by Alain Oulman and Luis de Macedo
Grammy nominated arrangement by Maria Mendes and John Beasley.
The lockdown did not prevent Metropole Orkest from going on a world tour in March 2021. Not literally, of course, but in their own studio in Hilversum with Netherlands based musicians. First destination was Brazil. Together with Maria Mendes, Lucas Santana, Gabriel Milliet, Lílian Vieira and conducted by Magnus Lindgren, the orchestra toured through the Metropole archives to pick the most exciting Brazilian music. Compositions by Antônio Carlos Jobim, Pixinguinha, Edu Lobo, Zequinha de Abreu, Chico César and Caetana Veloso.
Metropole Studio Sessions: World Tour - Brazil was a collaboration with NPO Radio 2 Soul & Jazz. Highlights from the concert on Friday 12 March 2021 have now been released on Spotify and other music services: open.spotify.com/album/7clBNnFVPWfGc0sH9CfpDQ
Yassir Bousselam (AAO cellist) and Haytham Safia (AAO UD player) to discuss the meeting of two orchestras in a tribute to the legacy of 'the Egyptian Quincy Jones' Mohamed Abdel Wahab.
www.mo.nl/en/agenda
In the 1950s, cities such as Casablanca, Baghdad, and Cairo grew explosively. What followed were three decades that are now seen as the ‘golden age’ of Arab film and music culture. With the unmistakable key person, Mohamed Abdel Wahab. You could say he is the Quincy Jones of Egypt. A legendary singer and actor himself, but above all the composer behind all the big stars. Via Radio Cairo, the hits he wrote for artists such as Oum Kalthoum, Abdelhalim Hafez, Warda Al Jazairia, Asmahan, Farid Al Atrash and Fairouz spread across the Arabic world. The music of this era is a convergence of the Arab musical tradition and European influences, inspired by poetry. The result is a musical movement with an impact comparable to the impact Elvis and The Beatles had and still have in Western music. Guest workers who left for Europe took the music with them and so the work of Mohamed Abdel Wahab and his contemporaries lives on.
In a collaboration between the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra and the Metropole Orkest you will hear the absolute highlights of ‘Cairo’s golden age’, with Mohamed Abdul Wahab as the ideal guide.
In collaboration with:
Soloists of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, Metropole Orkest
Youssef Jrifi & Fadwa Al Malki – vocals
Orchestra conducted by Tom Cohen
The program is curated by AAO Musical Director Abderrahim Semlali.
