Elton John - 50 years of YOUR SONG
In October 1970, Elton John released ‘Your Song’ written with his long-time collaborator Bernie Taupin. It has since been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Our symphonic concert celebrates 50 years of music making by multi award winning Elton John, the singer, pianist and composer. He has sold more than 300 million records, had more than 50 Top 40 hits, a winner of 5 Grammy Awards, 5 Brit Awards, and is an Academy, Golden Globe and Tony Award winner.
“In a wonderful journey through the celebrated music of Sir Elton, we are not only delighted with all those hits but discover some overlooked gems on the way too. Superbly put together by Richard Balcombe and Graham Bickley for GRB Concerts, delivered by a splendid cast of singers with tremendous orchestrations using the full range and colour of the symphony orchestra this was in every respect a great evening out….…Philharmonic Hall rocked!”
Andrew Cornall (Liverpool Philharmonic Artistic Consultant, Record Producer and former Vice President of A&R at EMI Classics)
GRB Productions '50 Years of Your Song' show is a delight from beginning to end. Richard Balcombe's glorious orchestrations add a new dimension to the already brilliantly crafted songs of Elton John that we all know and love, and with 4 extraordinary singers taking solos as well as backing vocals the entire package delivers a wonderfully classy and feel-good evening...highly recommended'
