Rock drummer Stewart Copeland.
"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," reads a press release about the event. "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 40 years."
Copeland has created unique compositions of Police tunes that he “deranged” for orchestral performances to "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!” says Copeland in a press release about the show. “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.”
