Henry Ford II will rock out with Majesty - the Best of British Rock

Symphony Band pairs with rock band Addlestone Gate to sponsor March 8 musical tribute

Henry Ford II High School will be rocking as the high school symphony orchestra pairs with the Detroit area-based rock band Addlestone Gate on March 8 to present Majesty – the Best of British Rock.

This evening will not be a typical high school band/orchestra concert, as the symphony band will not be playing classics but rather classic rock, scored for a symphonic orchestra and accompanied by an outstanding professional rock trio.

The 15-song show features music from The Beatles, The Kinks, The Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin and others, including original songs by Addlestone Gate.

The HFII Symphony Orchestra is a joint effort of the Symphonic Band & String Orchestra, rehearsing the extended repertoire at a fevered pace.
