The orchestra pays tribute to a true music icon, Tina Turner, a legendary and wild figure of rhythm and blues from the 1950s to the 1970s, before experiencing a remarkable solo resurgence in the 1980s. Her incredible comeback is considered the greatest in music history. With a career spanning over 40 years, Tina Turner has touched generations with timeless hits like What’s Love Got to Do with It, Private Dancer, and The Best, while embarking on triumphant tours around the world.
Her powerful voice, characterized by its raspy and vibrant tones, along with her boundless energy on stage, earned her universal admiration. But beyond her vocal talent and spectacular stage performances, it was her resilience and strength of character that captivated both audiences and her peers. Having been a victim of domestic violence during her early career with Ike Turner, she managed to rebuild herself and became the independent superstar we know today, often referred to as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll."
In this vibrant tribute, the orchestra does more than simply perform Tina Turner's original songs. The pieces have been entirely rearranged to include a full brass section, adding a new dimension to her iconic tracks. Where, in the original versions, only the saxophone supported Tina's soaring vocals, today the power of the trumpet, trombone, and French horn enhances her greatest hits. The result is a tribute worthy of the woman also known as the "Acid Queen," offering a performance that remains faithful to the spirit of the artist while infused with new energy.
