Elvis in Symphony: This Week at Cadogan Hall
It’s rare one gets the opportunity to combine a world-renowned orchestra performance with music of The King, but you can, and it’s taking place this Friday at Chelsea’s Cadogan Hall.
Playing in London for the first time ever, the acclaimed Las Vegas Symphony Orchestra will bring their US hit show – The King Symphonic: The Music of Elvis Presley – to London for the first time, ahead of a worldwide tour next year.
Combining a heady mixture of classical performances and the best-loved songs of Elvis Presley, the show features vocals from Grammy-nominated vocalist and producer Shea Arender, under the direction of the Las Vegas Symphony Orchestra’s newly appointed Principal Guest Conductor, Toby Cruse.
Presented by Worldwide Entertainment, The King Symphonic will take Elvis fans on a symphonic journey of his greatest hits. Audiences are promised a breath-taking performance jam-packed with classics including Can’t Help Falling in Love, Suspicious Minds, It’s Now or Never and Blue Suede Shoes.
Shea Arender has amassed international recognition through his work as a symphonic and Broadway producer. Previous production credits include the Tony Award-nominated musical A Night with Janis Joplin. As CEO of the Las Vegas Symphony Orchestra, Arender is at the forefront of delivering world-class symphonic programming to a global audience.
Speaking about their London debut, Shea told Belle About Town: “I’m incredibly excited about debuting in the UK. It’s amazing that over 40 years after his death his music lives on and remains so popular among audiences the world over. I’m looking forward to representing my heritage, and Elvis’ too, and performing these beautiful songs in a symphonic setting at Cadogan Hall.”
