In these concerts Copeland offers a new perspective on classics such as Roxanne, Don't Stand So Close To Me And Message In A Bottlesupported by an ensemble of talented musicians and an orchestra composed of 27 elements, in a high-energy evening that focuses on the epic rise of his music career, then unfolds across four decades. The idea for this concert was born when Stewart Copeland started working on the soundtrack of a filmabout the PoliceThe needs of cinema required a different approach to musicleading to the need to rework these pop songs. By analyzing and breaking down The Police's music to fit the film's scenes, Copeland found new inspiration, transforming these tracks into a unique orchestral experience..
Stewart Copeland himself declares: “The re-tooling of these songs began as a soundtrack for a film I made from some Super 8 footage of the band, captured during our rise to fame. Cinema makes capricious demands on music, which is why these pop songs had to be re-tooled. I had to dissect the Police’s music to serve the film’s scenes, and with the scalpel ready, a new inspiration hit me. Researching multi-tracks of the original recordings, and live performances, uncovered lost guitar solos, bass lines and vocal improvisations too beautiful to forget. Meanwhile, my 20 years as a film composer had forced an orchestral education on me, and so the idea for this combination that led to Police Deranged For Orchestra came together. Sting’s songs, Andy’s inventions and my own enthusiasm: all in a wild ride with the orchestra.“
Accompanying Copeland on this musical adventure will be extraordinary musicians: the vocalists Sarah Jane, Leave Sanches And Rachel Brown will bring new vocal nuances to The Police's songs, while Gianni Rojatti on the guitar will add a touch of virtuosity. On the bass Fasoknown for his work with Elio e Le Storie Tese, and on keyboards Victor Cosmasalso a member of Elio e Le Storie Tese and The Producers, who will contribute with his experience and musical mastery. The orchestracomposed by 27 talented elementswill complete this exceptional ensemble.
