Steve Hackman conductor & creator
New Jersey Symphony
GIRLS. They run the world.... they turn up the night... and if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it! The newest fusion production by Steve Hackman celebrates and elevates all things woman by combining pop’s Queen with classical music’s King: Beethoven and Beyoncé.
Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, the symphonic repertoire’s most joyful and exuberant celebration of dance, is the canvas onto which fifteen of Beyoncé’s most popular songs across her entire catalog are interwoven, including “Girls,” “Crazy in Love,” “Sorry,” “Cuff It,” “Single Ladies,” and of course, “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The production’s emotional peak is when two of the most recognizable melodies from each composer are intertwined: “Halo” and the hauntingly beautiful second movement of the Beethoven.
Three powerhouse female soloists, as well as a guest drummer, guitarist/keyboardist, and bassist, join the New Jersey Symphony for a night of musical magic.
Please note: This performance contains adult language and themes. Discretion is advised.
