The Quad City Symphony Orchestra is once again bringing their performance season to a rock ’n’ roll conclusion with this year’s Spring Pops featuring the Music of The Eagles. The Spring Pops concert, sponsored by the Lujack Motorwerks and The Planning Center will be at 7:30 PM on Saturday, June 5, at the Adler Theatre in Davenport. Amplified by a full rock band and accompanied by singers Terry Brock, Randy Jackson, and John Hines, creator Brent Havens guest conducts the QCSO in a concert rich with lush melodies like you've never heard before. The 2-hour concert features all your favorite Eagles’ tunes, including Heartache Tonight, Desperado, New Kid in Town, and Hotel California.
"My concept for the Music of The Eagles was to take the music as close to the originals as we could and then add some colors to enhance what the Eagles had done," says Havens. "The wonderful thing with an orchestra is that you have an entire palette to call upon. The band is reproducing what the Eagles did on the albums, verbatim, and then having an orchestra behind the band gives the music richness, a whole different feel, a whole different sense of power. I'm sure there are people who come to these shows who have never seen their city's symphony orchestra and this allows them to experience something new along with the music they already love."
Tickets for the concert start at $18 and are available through the Adler Theatre box office, the QCSO box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, 800-745-3000, or at www.QCSymphony.com. Last year, a “sold-out” concert played to an enthusiastic Quad Cities audience, so be sure to purchase tickets early.
