Metropole for everyone

Metropole Orkest is keenly aware of its’ unique position as an orchestra offering superior quality when it comes to light music. Therefore the orchestra is happy to share its knowledge and experience with future generations. Our efforts in music education and talent development are aimed at reaching different groups. We have programs for school children ages 4-12, young musical talent and amateur musicians.

Metropole op School
For Dutch primary schools we have developed a music curriculum named ‘Metropole op School’, for children from the ages 4-12 to become acquainted with the world of jazz, pop and world music.

Metropole Academy
Various educational programs for national and international musical talent are organised under the name Metropole Academy. For international talent in the field of composition and arranging we offer the International Arrangers Workshop led by Vince Mendoza. In addition there are special project weeks for students of the Dutch conservatories that offer a high-quality supplement to their studies. To support Dutch amateur musicians we share knowledge through our MO Adventure project.
