PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Feb. 5, 2025) – Raffles Hotel Le Royal is set to welcome back Biggles Big Band, the world-famous jazz orchestra from Amsterdam, for a one-night-only performance on Saturday, Feb. 22.

Instruments in the band include trumpets, trombones, saxophones, guitar, piano, acoustic bass, drums, violins and more, along with vocalists.
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.
