Umstattd Performing Arts Hall may never be the same after the Canton Symphony Orchestra (CSO) along with musicians from Jeans 'n Classics present The Music of Queen on April 7 at 8:00pm. Sponsored in part by the W. Henry Hoover Foundation, News-Talk 1480 WHBC and Mix 94.1, the concert features many of the British rock band's biggest hits.
Known for their flamboyant theatrical productions, Queen forever changed the American music scene with their original style. Decades after the band invaded America, people continue to sing along to their hit songs like "We are the Champions", "You're My Best Friend", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and of course the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody".
All of these songs and more will be performed by the orchestra along with the Jeans 'n Classics band that includes vocals, guitar, piano, and drums and backed up by members of the Canton
Symphony Chorus and Kent State University - Stark Chorale and Chorus. Rachel L. Waddell will conduct, but this won't be your typical orchestra concert. This performance is designed to get you out of your seat singing and moving to the music!
To get you warmed up, Mix 94.1, News-Talk 1480 WHBC and the CSO are hosting a pre-concert Glam Rock Party in
Foundation Hall of the Zimmermann
Symphony Center (2331 17th Street NW - adjacent to Umstattd Performing Arts Hall). The party will feature food, cash bar, 70's rock music and local personalities.
