Gesa Power House Theatre presents Seattle Rock Orchestra performing The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour in concert on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 7:00 p.m.
Join us for a special retrospective of David Bowie’s 50+ year career as a music legend! Seattle Rock Orchestra’s program begins with a reflection on Bowie’s early career from 1969-1974, largely on his glamarific ‘Ziggy Stardust’ era, featuring large swathes of his 1971 breakout album Hunky Dory, and 1972’s masterpiece The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. After an intermission, SRO switch gears into full-on party mode as they perform his most danceable songs—from the ‘plastic soul’ of 1975’s Young Americans, through his reinvigorated reign as an 80’s pop icon. And, as a meditation on his legacy, the orchestra will take advantage of their full spectrum of tone colors, occasionally punctuating the evening with plaintive orchestral moments taken from his experimental ‘Berlin Trilogy’ years. Featuring the songs ‘Life On Mars?,’ ‘Starman,’ ‘Let’s Dance,’ ‘Under Pressure,’ ‘Young Americans,’ and many more, this is a program you won’t want to miss!
Seattle Rock Orchestra doesn’t hide behind a rock band … it is the rock band! SRO utilizes strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and rotating cast of exciting guest vocalists to deliver high energy tribute shows unlike any other. Each SRO show offers a dynamic mix of possibilities: a classy night out at the symphony with the infectious energy of a dance party; searing rock solos with intimate orchestral moments of staggering beauty; and fan favorite sing-alongs with lesser known ‘deep cuts’—combining to create a fun yet profoundly moving night out that honors the featured artist’s lasting legacy.
Reserved seating tickets ($50-$55) are available to the general public starting February 15th online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
