Jenny Arean & Metropole Orkest - 't Is stil in Amsterdam - Ramses Leeft! Live

In December 2019, ten years after the passing of the revered Dutch chansonnier Ramses Shaffy, Metropole Orkest honoured his legacy with the 'Ramses Leeft!' (Ramses Lives!) concert series. Jenny Arean, an icon of Dutch musical theatre herself, joined the Metropole Orkest for this tour. On the eve of Ramses' birthday we are now releasing Jenny Arean's live rendition of 't Is stil in Amsterdam (It's quiet in Amsterdam). A song about the joys of solitude and the fear of loneliness.

Music and lyrics: Ramses Shaffy
Arrangement: Martin Fondse
Conductor: Maurice Luttikhuis

These concerts are a collaboration between Metropole Orkest and the Ramses Shaffy Fonds Voor Jonge Kunstenaars. This foundation, set up by Ramses himself, supports young professionals in small art and the music and theater profession.
