My very first arrangement for the Metropole Orkest was Leopards in the Temple, a beautiful piece by the extraordinary singer Carleen Anderson (known from the Brand New Heavies, among others). This piece was written for the legendary TV program Paradiso Life by NPS Television.
From that moment on, I was spoiled forever—what a voice, what a song! This arrangement featured the MO Strings and French Horn. Notable fact: just days before the concert, the horn player broke his foot but still showed up to perform. Talk about dedication!
