In this thrilling rock retrospective, Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Rob Evan and acclaimed tenors Micah Wilshire and Shem von Schroeck join forces with The Philly POPS for Legends of Rock on Friday, May 15, through Sunday, May 17. This talented trio — with combined influences from the worlds of rock, country, Broadway, and opera — will amaze audiences with a dynamic line-up of chart-topping classic hits and epic power ballads from Queen, The Police, Journey, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, and more. Classic rock lovers of all ages will enjoy a selection of songs that include Don't Stop Believin', We Are the Champions, Every Breath You Take, and Maybe I'm Amazed.
The Philly POPS Music Director, Maestro Michael Krajewski describes this concert series as a journey through the different styles and approaches to legendary rock over the years. “When audiences hear the first two or three notes of a song, they're going to say, 'Oh, I love this song!' And that’s our goal as we're doing our best to recreate these legendary songs in a very authentic way. Of course, one thing that will be very different -- they will be backed up by The Philly POPS! We're not exactly a rock band, but we have 65 musicians who will be the power behind the music.”
