Seattle Rock Orchestra: The Beatles and Pink Floyd

Our very first performance in Yakima, SRO brings the best of its interpretations of Beatles and Pink Floyd songs. Featuring Victoria Contreras and Mike & Matt Gervais on vocals.

Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) was born out of the desire to marry the unabashed performance energy of rock'n'roll with the broader palette of musical nuances treasured in classical music. Founded by bassist & composer Scott Teske, SRO started modestly in 2008, performing their first show as a 13-piece string orchestra. In 2012 SRO launched the Seattle Rock Orchestra Summer Intensive, a week long summer day camp for middle & high school musicians. SRO also contributed strings to the song Neon Cathedral on Macklemore's 2012 album The Heist, and released its own debut EP in 2013 featuring songs by Radiohead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder and Beck. Now a 50+ piece orchestra with strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and a rotating cast of guest vocalists, SRO is embarking on its fifth full season of programming.

Tickets: $24 advance - $30 door - $45 VIP

About Seattle Rock Orchestra

Seattle Rock Orchestra doesn't hide behind a rock band ... it is the rock band! SRO utilizes strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and a rotating cast of exciting guest vocalists to deliver high energy tribute shows unlike any other. SRO was founded in 2008 by bassist, composer, and educator Scott Teske. Music Director and Conductor extraordinaire Kim Roy quickly came aboard in 2010 to tame our unruly gang of musical misfits with her unique panache. In 2012, SRO began its expansion into a full-fledged arts organization with the introduction of the Seattle Rock Orchestra Summer Intensive, a week long summer day camp for middle & high school musicians, which now hosts two sessions at Seattle's Moore Theatre and at Kirkland Performance Center.

Over the years SRO has racked up an impressive resume that includes collaborations with the likes of Elvis Costello, Macklemore, DeVotchKa, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Damien Jurado, DRAM, Allen Stone, and members of Big Star, The Posies, R.E.M., Nada Surf, and Pearl Jam, on stages across Washington State, including Seattle's Paramount, Moore & Neptune Theatres, Sasquatch Music Festival, Summer Meltdown Festival, and Timber Outdoor Music Festival.
