PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION

Get ready for an unforgettable night of music, memories, and pure symphonic rock & roll energy as Billy Joel’s greatest hits burst to life like you’ve never heard them before. With the soulful vocalist and dynamic pianist Paul Loren at center stage and GRAMMY winner Jeff  Tyzik’s brilliant orchestrations, this concert experience is a full-throttle celebration of one of the greatest songwriters of our time. Audiences will be on their feet for favorites like Uptown Girl, For the Longest Time, Only the Good Die Young, and You May Be Right, while lush arrangements of New York State of Mind, Vienna, She’s Always a Woman, and And So It Goes showcase Joel’s timeless ballads. From the instant nostalgia of Piano Man to the high-octane punch of Movin’ Out and It’s Still Rock ’n Roll to Me, this symphonic celebration brings the pure excitement of Billy Joel’s beloved music to your RPO.
