You don’t always have to choose between rock or Classical! These are just a few suggestions for a fun mashup of old classic rock and philharmonic form.
- Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd Gorgeous and moody, and recorded in a cathedral!
- Kashmir – Led Zeppelin Melody performed by a wonderful cello soloist!
- Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen Viola soloist as Freddy Mercury in this version, with a great trumpet solo interlude!
- Symphonic Rockshow at the Smith Center If you loved our Music of QueenPops Concert in January, take the time to enjoy this full-length astounding performance by our oh-so-talented guest soloist, Brody Dolyniuk. He covers them all here, from Elton John to Journey, Rush to Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Beatles, The Who, ELO, and more! A perfect stay-at-home date night…You’re welcome! (Seriously, watch this)
We bring the stage to you, in all its irreplaceable splendor!
