POPS

David Bowie was one of the most enigmatic artists in the history of popular music. He became a music icon in life and a legend after. Extravagantly creative, he defied definition and transcended boundaries. He was an infinitely changeable, fiercely forward-looking songwriter who taught generations of musicians and artists about the power of drama, images, and personas. Bowie’s lyrics were, above all, about being an outsider: an alien, a misfit, a sexual adventurer, a faraway astronaut; and his music was a kaleidoscope of influence – rock, cabaret, jazz, and classical — always underpinned with genuine heart. The TBSO is thrilled to once again join forces with Jeans ’n’ Classics for this very special concert.
