Symphonic Rock Pioneers return to Japan for two concerts in Tokyo with their Symphonic Journey show, featuring the stunning five-octave voice of Annie Haslam and their unforgettable, unique style of symphonic rock.
The Tokyo concerts coincide with the Japanese release on the 14th September of the wonderful DVD/2CD live concert recording A Symphonic Journey.
We are proud to introduce the remarkable musicians who will accompany Renaissance on our orchestral shows at Ridgefield CT, Glenside PA, New York City, and Albany NY:
Following their successful South American tour, Renaissance will be back in the Northeast United States in October and November 2017 debuting their Symphonic Journey tour. This tour will include four very special concerts;
These four shows will feature a 10-piece Chamber Orchestra: a handpicked assemblage of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. These performances will be the first time in 40 years that Renaissance will perform on stage with a live orchestra and, in addition, 2017 marks the 48th year since the band’s formation and its ninth consecutive year of touring since their reactivation in 2009.
Plans are currently being made for the group to film one of these shows for an upcoming DVD release, which will follow the success of their 2015 London Union Chapel DVD. Additional tour performances without the chamber orchestra are currently being scheduled.
Renaissance leader and vocalist, Annie Haslam remarks, “the band keeps getting stronger and stronger and the addition of the chamber orchestra will be the most exciting event for the band in years. This addition of ‘live’ orchestral musicians will add an incredible dynamic to our big numbers like Mother Russia, Carpet Of The Sun and Song For All Seasons, all of which included an orchestra on the original recordings.”
Ms Haslam will be joined on stage by long time musical associate Rave Tesar on piano along with Tom Brislin on keyboards, Mark Lambert on guitars, Frank Pagano on drums and percussion, and Leo Traversa on bass.
A limited number of Very Special Guest passes will be made available to fans already holding tickets for the November US Fall tour. This package includes the following:
Attend soundcheck with Renaissance (approximately 5-6pm on day of show, no photography or video)
Attend a Meet and Greet with Renaissance directly after the show, plus your photo taken with the band (bring your own camera)
Cost: $60.00 per person. Available for purchase here.
“Annie Haslam, solo artist and lead vocalist with Renaissance, chats with Kevin Cooper about the success of Northern Lights, the passing of her great friend Michael Dunford, their latest album Symphony Of Light and their forthcoming tour of the UK.”
