Audition: 23 May 2023

When you think of an orchestra, you think classical music. That’s not the Metropole Orkest (MO). Playing jazz, pop, world music and film scores, the Metropole Orkest has shared the stage with legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, The Basement Jaxx and Bono. The MO invests just as much in playing with the next generation of stars like Caro Emerald, Kovacs, Robert Glasper, Woodkid, Snarky Puppy and Gregory Porter. Under the helm of the young British chief conductor Jules Buckley Metropole Orkest seeks to challenge boundaries of current symphonic pop and jazz.

As a concertmaster, you bear joint responsibility for the realization of the artistic ambitions of the orchestra, including by motivating and inspiring colleagues, and in that context you are a sparring partner for the management, chief conductor and/or permanent conductors, producers and principals.

Obligatory works:
– 1st part (exposition) of Mozart violin concerto no. 4 or 5
– Part of a Romantic (and/or lyrical) work of choice
* Orchestral MO parts, will be sent 3 weeks before auditions
