Seattle Rock Orchestra performs Michael Jackson

SRO celebrates the King of Pop, drawing heavily from his critically acclaimed collaborations with producer Quincy Jones (Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad) and his work for Motown Records as child star and front-man of The Jackson 5. Featuring the songs 'Smooth Criminal,' 'Billie Jean,' 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough,' 'Man In The Mirror,' 'Thriller,' 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' 'ABC' and many more.

Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) was born out of the desire to marry the unabashed performance energy of rock'n'roll with the broader palette of musical nuances treasured in classical music. Founded by bassist Scott Teske, SRO started modestly in 2008, performing their first show as a 13-piece string orchestra. As word of the ensemble and its mission spread, the size of the group and the profile of the performances matured, leading within months to high-profile collaborations with Jeremy Enigk, Damien Jurado, Jesse Sykes and Rosie Thomas. 2009 brought the orchestra to center stage with its sold out re-imagining of Arcade.
