Metropole Orkest Cellos — Pocket Concerts

Coming to you from the studios of the Concertzender / World of Jazz: Pocket Concerts. Featuring this edition: Metropole Orkest Cellos The Metropole Orkest Cellos bring together four outstanding musicians: Joel Siepmann, Jascha Albracht, Annie Tangberg, and Emile Visser. As members of the renowned Metropole Orkest, they share a deep musical connection shaped by versatility, curiosity, and a love for genre-crossing performance. Individually, each cellist is active in a wide range of musical worlds, from classical and contemporary repertoire to jazz, film music, pop, and experimental projects. Together, they form a unique cello ensemble that highlights the instrument’s full expressive range — from intimate, lyrical lines to powerful rhythmic textures. In this Pocket Concert, the Metropole Orkest Cellos explore sound, groove, and storytelling in a compact and personal setting. Their playing reflects both the precision of orchestral musicianship and the freedom of chamber music, offering listeners a fresh perspective on what the cello can be.

His work was widely appreciated and the freshness of his arrangements is still unsurpassed. Although classically educated, Van Otterloo was first and foremost a jazzman. The Dutch Jazz Archive acquired his estate in 2023 and is proud that it has already resulted in several projects. For Digging the Archives, Metropole Orkest Cellos wrote a new arrangement of the song On the Move.
