Foreigner

“I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold As Ice,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Hot Blooded,” “Juke Box Hero.” FOREIGNER’s timeless anthems are known and loved by generations. Streams and airplay place the band among the top artists every week. “I Want To Know What Love Is” is one of the very few songs by heritage artists certified for one billion streams on Spotify, and the high-profile use of “Juke Box Hero” in the Netflix blockbuster Happy Gilmore 2 was viewed by almost a hundred million in the first two weeks of its release

Now, the band has reinterpreted these songs with an orchestra, bringing an exciting new dimension to FOREIGNER’s music. The orchestral concerts, which includes a stop at San Jose Civic, March 22, are a celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary and will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to experience their most popular hits with a 20-piece orchestra playing spectacular arrangements written by Juilliard cello virtuoso Dave Eggar and conductor Chuck Palmer. Eggar has performed, recorded and arranged for artists that include Coldplay, Paul Simon, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce and many more. It is an event not to be missed.

FOREIGNER’s love for orchestral performance of their hit songs began in Switzerland in 2017 when they appeared in Lucerne with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, resulting in a TV special which can be seen on PBS TV. It can be viewed here. Subsequently, they toured the show internationally, culminating with a sold-out appearance at the iconic Sydney Opera House.

FOREIGNER fan club members will have access to a pre-sale. Tickets for the San Jose Civic show are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, September 12, at 10AM.
