Agenda
CONDUCTED BY ROBERT AMES
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.
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.

Phion (Orchestra of Gelderland & Overijssel) brings the most beautiful classical music during the Beethoven Festival (7 to 22 October) in Arnhem and Enschede. With Beethoven’s First Symphony and Third Symphony, the orchestra conducted by Thomas Zehetmair presents a great contrast. On the one hand, completely mature, on the other hand revolutionary and innovative. You can count on an impressive concert.

Opening concert of the Amsterdam Dance Event 2023
Metropole Orkest returns to the iconic Melkweg for the official opening concert of the Amsterdam Dance Event 2023. Get ready for an orchestral remix of the music of TINLICKER in what promises to be the most danceable ADE opening concert to date.
Tinlicker, consisting of Micha Heyboer and Jordi van Achthoven, brings their signature mix of progressive house, indietronica and melodic techno to the Metropole Orkest conducted by Simon Dobson. Think compelling beats, fiery rousing percussion and thoughtful melodies. Tinlicker’s masterful compositions lend themselves perfectly to a surprising orchestral remake, where electronics and live instrumentation merge.
A concert as part of the festive closing of the 35th edition of the Zeeuwsch-Vlaanderen Festival
Metropole Orkest, conducted by Jochen Neuffer pays tribute to Aretha Franklin. Together with singer Sheléa and Vula’s Chorale this tribute celebrates The Queen of Soul’s career. Famous songs as her first hit song ‘Respect’ and classics like ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’ and ‘Think’ all receive full orchestral arrangements.
Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, was one of the world’s bestselling artists. She is an eight-time Grammy Award winner and was the first ever female artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The impact of her craft far exceeds just music. Aretha was an advocate for social change and her song ‘Respect’ became an anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and
women worldwide.
A book presentation by Heleen Creyghton with Vera Laporeva and Thomas Herrmann.
With music by Poulenc, Satie, Debussy and Bosmans.
DOMi & JD BECK’s music finds both humor and greatness in harmonic complexity, rhythmic shiftiness, and speed. DOMi favors sounds that evoke ‘70s jazz fusion and the colorful blips of 2000s Pokémon soundtracks, while JD BECK tunes and plays his snare in ways that can sound electronic, channeling IDM and boom bap.
