Looks like a terrific and indeed eclectic programme but the title of the concert would allow pretty much everything under that name. 
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

It's good to see that the Metropole Orkest hasn't been eliminated like so many other orchestras in Holland.

It was an outstanding concert.
The Metropool Orkest is one of the most versatile out there, but they have their roots in Jazz, which showed in the program.
A lot of jazzy, funky and cool tracks. I've heard symphony orchestra's doing The Bond Theme, even the LSO. And it was always a bit formal. But the Metropool really captured the big band, jazz aspect.
Highlight was Theme From Shaft. I listened to that while wearing black sunglasses...indoors.
Morricone's Cinema Paradiso is beautiful, so is Rosza's Spellbound.
Each cue was accompanied by clips of the film, not sure about that.
Just occurred that they did not play anything post 1980.

They do a lot of other stuff, pop, and more classical stuff, but Jazz is their origin.

How was David Shire's The Taking of Pelham 123? I think that's a terrific score.

Karol
From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.
