On 21 August GrandWest’s Grand Arena will host Symphonic Rocks, an exciting musical collaboration between a full symphony orchestra and South Africa’s top rock and pop bands.
A 65-piece orchestra will perform on stage, together with bands Flat Stanley, Just Jinjer, Louise Carver, Watershed, aKING and Gang of Instrumentals.
The audience can expect to hear over 20 popular songs of which at least 15 have been number one hits, each song has been painstakingly rearranged by John Walton from the CTPO.
The result is that musicians from each of the bands will perform their songs together with 22 violins, 8 violas, 6 cellos, 4 double bases and a harp - and that’s just the string section! Also on stage will be full woodwind, brass and percussion sections.
The concert is the brainchild of Flat Stanley’s Andy Mac, who first envisaged a show of this nature six years ago. Since then he has undertaken to bring all the bands and the orchestra together.
