The Merano Pop Symphony Orchestra presents an extraordinary evening that merges the power of symphonic music with the timeless melodies of international rock and pop. On an exciting journey through the decades, the orchestra breathes new life into masterpieces by Phil Collins (Genesis), Queen, Toto, Aerosmith, and Coldplay, transforming each piece into a unique orchestral experience. The symphonic arrangements will enhance the energy of progressive rock and the modernity of contemporary pop, creating a bridge between classical tradition and modern music.

• Phil Collins – The visionary sound of the Genesis drummer will be reimagined with rich orchestrations and complex structures, gaining new depth through the use of strings and brass.

• Queen – The symphonic grandeur of Freddie Mercury’s band will be amplified by the orchestra, recreating the epic and theatrical dimension of iconic songs such as "Radio Ga Ga" and "These Are the Days of Our Lives", with majestic vocal harmonies and powerful instrumental sections.

• Toto – Toto’s refined and sophisticated sound, blending rock and jazz fusion, will be enriched by symphonic arrangements that enhance the melody and groove of classics like "Africa", fusing captivating rhythms with immersive orchestrations.

• Aerosmith – The energetic and passionate rock of Aerosmith will be transformed into an intense symphonic experience. Songs like "I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing" will gain a new breath of life through the emotional amplification of strings and brass.

• Coldplay – The melodic sensitivity and ethereal atmosphere of Coldplay will be reinterpreted with an evocative symphonic framework. "Viva la Vida" and "Paradise", already featuring orchestral progressions in their original versions, will take on new life in a majestic symphonic arrangement.
