The band consists of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, guitar, piano, acoustic bass, drums, violins, vocalists and more.

Conductor Sir Adrie Braat founded the orchestra in 1985 and they play popular weekly shows in The Netherlands’ capital every Monday night at the legendary cafe Casablanca.

The band’s performance in Phnom Penh will mark its first-ever show in Cambodia and part of the proceeds will contribute to the local children’s community. Aside from the concert, the band will also offer a music workshop in Phnom Penh.
