Stewart Copeland's POLICE DERANGED FOR ORCHESTRA Will Be Performed at Blossom Music Center in September

The Cleveland Orchestra has announced the addition of a special event at the conclusion of the 2021 Blossom Music Festival: Stewart Copeland's Police Deranged for Orchestra. The concert will take place on September 11, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at Blossom Music Center.

Stewart Copeland's Police Deranged for Orchestra is a high-energy orchestral celebration of legendary rock star and composer Stewart Copeland and his career as the founder of one rock's most beloved bands, The Police. With more than 60 million records sold worldwide, six GRAMMY awards, and induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Police - founded when Copeland recruited Andy Summers and Sting in 1977 - have been a defining force in rock music for over forty years.

Stewart Copeland's Police Deranged for Orchestra is bursting with The Police's biggest hits, including "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close To Me," and "Message in a Bottle." With Copeland on drums, three singers, guitarist, and The Cleveland Orchestra, these unique compositions - arranged (or "deranged") by Copeland - give new life to classic songs and select hits from the career of one of the generation's greatest and most influential artists.

"Cleveland has been good to me, so I'm coming back!" said Copeland. "I'm looking forward to performing with the mighty Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center, a beautiful outdoor venue and magnificent place for a concert. We're going to have singers and rock musicians as part of the show, but the main event is The Cleveland Orchestra, that venue, and all the hits by my old band, The Police."
