It’s no secret that The Florida Orchestra makes a point to stage at least one rock-related performance per season. Plenty of times, there’s even a rock band onstage to salute the likes of Tom Petty, ELO, and Fleetwood Mac.
Though there’s a Tina Turner tribute coming up in May, these “Music Of The Knights” performances—one in the afternoon, and one in the evening—will salute the best-known material from Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney (and, on a non-rock note, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber).
Sure, hearing “Your Song” paired with, say, “Yesterday” isn’t too much of a shock. But hearing those back-to-back with “Phantom of the Opera” might just be the enlightenment we need.
