Metropolen

Metropolen is a Swedish ensemble and production collective centered on arranging and performing orchestral reinterpretations of contemporary pop, rock and electronic music. Originating in Sweden, the project became known in the 2010s for recording large-scale string and orchestral versions of songs by modern artists, blending classical instrumentation and pop song structures. Their work emphasizes lush arrangements, detailed orchestration and the translation of electronic and band-based textures into a symphonic context. Metropolen’s approach is rooted in collaboration with arrangers, session musicians and production teams to create polished, cinematic reinterpretations rather than original singer-songwriter output.
