DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From In the Air Tonight to Against All Odds\, and Turn It On Again to Invisible Touch\, Phil Collins has been responsible for some of the most cherished musical moments of 70’s to the present day. His songs from the legendary band\, Genesis\, and his solo work have been a consistent soundtrack to our lives and will be presented in a way they’ve never been heard before – reimagined for full orchestra with a phenomenal frontman and all-star band.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram\nBradley Thachuk\, conductor\, arranger\, orchestrator\nSteve Thachuk\, guitar & arranger\nJeremy Saje\, vocals\nPaul Ill\, bass\nDan Potruch\, drums\nZachary Provost\, keyboard \nProgram to be announced from the stage.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nAbout Steve Thachuk\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \n\nSteve is known throughout the world as a classical guitar virtuoso\, and has performed as a soloist in concert\, with orchestras\, and on radio across North America and Europe. He was always a maverick in the classical world\, often playing electric guitar\, experimental music\, and rock tunes in a classical style. In 2009\, Steve partnered with Jeff Young (Megadeth) for acoustic shows in England\, and since then has turned his attention more and more to his rock ‘n’ roll roots. \n\n\nAfter a stint with an acoustic fusion trio (with Julian Coryell\, guitarist for Alanis Morissette & Leonard Cohen)\, Steve began working as an orchestrator for Steve Hackett (Genesis) and his Genesis Revisited for Band & Orchestra project. This collaboration produced a British tour and a live album and DVD from Royal Festival Hall in London. Steve went on later to orchestrate a show for Dave Mason from Traffic\, and has been producing band and orchestra tributes ever since. \n\n\nSteve played with the band ALLIANCE in the Toronto hard rock scene of the late ‘80s\, but then left to pursue his classical performing career.
