Jong Metropole: 'The Best Of Metropole'

2 aug • 3 aug • 6 augBuy tickets

Ten years of Jong Metropole – a milestone we’re celebrating with a musical event of grand scale.

For this anniversary edition, we delve into the rich repertoire of the Metropole Orkest: from sultry jazz tunes to swinging symphonic classics. Under the baton of Jochen Neuffer, we present a vibrant mix of fresh arrangements and timeless compositions by the likes of Vince Mendoza, Bill Dobbins, and Maria Schneider.

A highlight of the evening is the world premiere of a brand-new work by Suzan Veneman, winner of the 2024 Rogier van Otterloo Award. She composed it especially for us.

What to expect? Think: George Gershwin meets Duke Ellington meets the present day. Bold, captivating, jazzy, and refined.

On a warm summer evening, surrounded by greenery, we’ll take you on a journey from New York jazz clubs to grand concert halls.

Symphony in the Park is an evening of music, connection, and shared experience – the essence of what Jong Metropole stands for. Energetic, accessible, and of exceptional quality.
