Info
On 17 June 2026 at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Cory Wong and the Metropole Orkest join forces. The Minneapolis guitarist builds his instrumental funk on timing, pulsing grooves and compact hooks, with echoes of jazz, pop and rock. Live, his rhythm-guitar playing steers the band like a drummer with strings—tight yet supple. The programme navigates between concise themes and open passages, creating space for collective improvisation without relinquishing the form. In orchestral dress his riffs and breaks gain extra depth: crisp accents, warm woodwinds and broad strings that open up the sonic palette.
Meanwhile, the Metropole Orkest moves effortlessly between big-band energy and symphonic hues. The rhythm section keeps it grooving, the strings and woodwinds draw wide lines, and the brass section defines the contours with precision. At home in jazz, pop and film music, the orchestra puts its hybrid sound at the service of Wong’s repertoire: clearly orchestrated, rhythmically compact and yet flexible. A meeting where arrangement and spontaneity reinforce one another, with the orchestra acting as an extension of Wong’s incisive sense of rhythm.
