With a combined total of 39 number one hits on Billboard’s Top 100, Elvis (The King), Queen and Prince are musical royalty. The Symphony, with powerhouse guest vocalists and an epic guitarist, honor these legendary artists with songs like Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Don’t Be Cruel;” Queen’s “Somebody to Love” and “We Will Rock You;” and Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” “1999” and “Kiss.” Electrifying riffs, heart-throbbing drumbeats and reverberating vocals rule in this tribute to three crown jewels of rock and roll.
