The Orchestra
What will they be doing?
Every singer was allowed to come up with one song, for which the orchestra has made a great arrangement. So, you get to hear unique versions of some very big hits! This can be 2 ways: OR in a way as the artist has once meant it to be, but was never able to perform it live (not every band toured with an orchestra) OR in a very special arrangement. Everything is possible, but one thing is for sure - you will witness a historical concert!
Who are they?
The orchestra consists of 32 professional musicians who were brought together by Arto Hoornweg. Arto himself is a member of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, where he was also the person to select new musicians. So, he certainly qualifies for his job! It was a plus that Arto is really a fan of Classic Rock - always helpful when you have to start such a project.
The orchestra has been named C.O.D.A , which in musical terms means 'final piece', and which obviously fitted the concept of Classics in Rock - the orchestra was the final part of the concept, the final piece!
AND DON'T YOU WORRY: CLASSICS IN ROCK IS AND WILL BE A REAL ROCKSHOW!
