Experience the legendary sounds of Renaissance, one of progressive rock’s most innovative bands, at The Newton Theatre. Founded from the legacy of the iconic UK band The Yardbirds, Renaissance carved its own path by blending rock with classical and symphonic elements, creating a truly distinctive sound that has captivated fans for over five decades.

At the heart of Renaissance is the ethereal five-octave voice of Annie Haslam and the enduring influence of the late Michael Dunford and lyricist Betty Thatcher. The group is celebrated for pioneering the integration of full orchestral arrangements into rock music, a hallmark that continues to define their sound.

Renaissance’s illustrious career includes world tours and performances alongside prestigious orchestras, including Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic and the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic and Royal Chorale Society. The band also achieved a UK top ten hit with “Northern Lights”, a classic that remains a favorite on radio playlists today.

Fans can enjoy Renaissance live across the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Brazil, with numerous acclaimed live recordings released on CD and DVD. This concert promises a masterful showcase of symphonic rock, timeless hits, and the enduring magic of one of the genre’s most influential bands.
