Not your grandparents' classical music: Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd at the Washington State Fair

By Volcano Staff on April 21, 2014

Conductor/arranger Brent Havens and his 30-piece orchestra plus a full rock band - featuring singer Randy Jackson's (lead singer of the rock band Zebra) - join forces to perform classic songs of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd in "The Music of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, A Rock Symphony," a brilliant combination of passion and power Sept. 19 at the Washington State Fair.

The Music of Led Zeppelin was first performed in 1996 and was transcribed and scored by Havens, who is guest conducting this performance. The performance features songs from the vast Zeppelin catalog, such as "Kashmir," "Black Dog," "All of My Love" and "Stairway to Heaven."

According to a news release, the "show will include Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album in its entirety for 45 minutes in the first half of the show. A 20-minute intermission follows, then the best of Led Zeppelin follows for 75 minutes in the second half of the show." 

Tickets are $20-$45, and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 26 on the Fair website, or by phone (888) 559-FAIR (3247) daily, 7 a.m. - 8 p.m.
