The Music of Elton John with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra
Richard Balcombe, conductor
Graham Bickley, Stuart Matthew Price, Patrick Smyth, Abbie Osmon, vocalists
George King, feature pianist
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was released in 1973 and has since been regarded as Elton John’s magnum opus, with sales of over 20 million worldwide. The RTÉ Concert Orchestra are joined by West End vocalists Graham Bickley, Stuart Matthew Price, Patrick Smyth and Abbie Osmon to pay tribute to the album, and the last fifty years of Elton John’s music, under conductor Richard Balcombe.
Presenting renditions of I’m Still Standing, Circle of Life, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, Candle in the Wind, Rocket Man, Your Song and more, you can tell everybody that this is your song.
I think it’s gonna be a long, long time until you have a night like this again, so get your colourful shades on and your flamboyant feathers out, to join the RTÉ Concert Orchestra celebrating the Rocket Man himself this November.
Presented by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in association with GRB Concerts.
