The Metropole Orkest ({{translation|Metropole Orchestra}}) 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.

History

The Metropole Orkest was founded in 1945 by Dolf van der Linden at the urging of officials from Netherlands Public Broadcasting, which manages and subsidizes the orchestra. The name of the group was suggested by van der Linden, one of the musicians, who led the ensemble for 35 years until he stepped down in 1980.{{cite book |title=Conductors and Composers of Popular Orchestral Music: A Biographical and Discographical Sourcebook |first1=Reuben |last1=Musiker |first2=Naomi |last2=Musiker |publisher=Greenwood Press |location=Westport, Connecticut |year=1998 |isbn=0-313-30260-X |pages=263–265 |name-list-style=amp}} He was replaced by Rogier van Otterloo, who led the group until his sudden death in 1988. Dick Bakker then held the baton until 2005, when Vince Mendoza took over.{{cite web|url=http://en.metropoleorkest.nl/mco_page/theorchestra |title=The Metropole Orkest |access-date=28 November 2010 |publisher=En.metropoleorkest.nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724162028/http://en.metropoleorkest.nl/mco_page/theorchestra |archive-date=24 July 2011 }} He gave the orchestra a more international character. In August 2013 Jules Buckley took over the position of chief conductor from Mendoza.

The Metropole Orkest is a regular feature at the North Sea Jazz festival and the annual Holland Festival along with many TV and radio programs. The Dutch film and television industry relies heavily on the Metropole Orkest for its film scores. From 2005 to 2013 the Metropole was under the baton of four-time Grammy Award winner Vince Mendoza and performed frequently on the concert stage, at festivals and on recordings of both Dutch and international artists.[http://en.metropoleorkest.nl/ home » Metropole Orkest] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007194638/http://en.metropoleorkest.nl/ |date=2009-10-07 }}. www.mo.nl/en.

In European radio broadcasting, its closest counterparts are the BBC Concert Orchestra, and in particular the now defunct BBC Radio Orchestra which had similar instrumentation. The ensembles often performed with the same guest conductors and soloists, using the same bespoke arrangements.

The Metropole Orkest is known for its performances of world music and classic jazz works. It has worked with many prominent artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, New York Voices, Tori Amos, Bono, Brian Eno, Hardwell, Elvis Costello, Within Temptation, Snarky Puppy, Marcus Miller, Todd Rundgren, Jacob Collier, Markus Stockhausen, Louis Cole, Triptykon, Cory Wong, Cory Henry, Basement Jaxx[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8622518/Basement-Jaxx-Basement-Jaxx-Vs-Metropole-Orkest-CD-review.html Basement Jaxx: Basement Jaxx Vs Metropole Orkest, CD review].

The Dutch government was considering withdrawing funding from the orchestra but, at the last minute, in December 2012, politicians secured funding for the orchestra until 2017.[http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/3380/muziek/article/detail/3365418/2012/12/18/Metropole-Orkest-krijgt-subsidie-tot-2017.dhtml Metropole Orkest krijgt subsidie tot 2017 – muziek – VK].

Starting on 31 January 2017, an online survey was held to select a group for a joint project. Six months later, Epica was elected from 650 suggestions, winning the most of 60,000 votes.{{cite web|title=Winner 'Metropole Orkest met…' announced! – Metropole Orkest|url=https://www.mo.nl/en/2017/08/winner-metropole-orkest-met-announced|website=Metropole Orkest|access-date=29 May 2018|date=1 August 2017}} Without revealing the title of the existing Epica song that was to be recorded, a joint studio session was scheduled to take place in Hilversum on 13 December 2017.{{cite web|title=Metropole Orkest met… Epica – Metropole Orkest|url=https://www.mo.nl/metropole-orkest-met|website=Metropole Orkest|access-date=29 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180529015257/https://www.mo.nl/metropole-orkest-met|archive-date=29 May 2018|language=nl-NL}}

In the build-up to a Dutch parliamentary debate on the culture budgets, scheduled for 30 May 2018, the Metropole Orkest announced that by 2018 the subsidy budget cuts in the preceding years had caused a 50% reduction in the amount of work the orchestra could offer its musicians. Many of its musicians were no longer able to make a living from just their work at the orchestra, and faced problems combining the irregular work hours as a musician with part-time jobs needed to supplement their income. The orchestra objected to the situation as described, responding that it feared that the orchestra would diminish in quality or ultimately be forced to shut down completely.{{cite web|title=Huidige situatie Metropole Orkest – Metropole Orkest|url=https://www.mo.nl/2018/05/huidige-situatie-metropole-orkest|website=Metropole Orkest|access-date=29 May 2018|language=nl-NL|date=19 May 2018}}
