About this concert
Called "one of the greatest drummers of all time" by Rolling Stone Magazine, "The Rhythmatist" Stewart Copeland founded the legendary rock band The Police and is now a prolifically talented composer of opera, ballet, and orchestral music. He returns to The Soraya to dominate his drum kit alongside an orchestral reimagining of hits from The Police, including "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close to Me," and "Message in a Bottle." In 2016, Copeland's film score for the 1925 silent film Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ wowed audiences at The Soraya, with CSUN alum Richard Kaufman conducting. Copeland is back performing hits from one of the greatest bands of all time, arranged for 30 musicians and four singers with Copeland himself on the drums.

Stewart Copeland Biography
Stewart Armstrong Copeland (born July 16, 1952) is an American musician. He was the drummer for the band The Police and is an influential drum stylist. Since the group's breakup he has played in other bands and composed soundtracks.
Copeland was born in Alexandria, Virginia, the youngest of four children of CIA agent Miles Copeland, Jr. and Scottish Lorraine Adie, who was in British intelligence.
The family moved to Cairo, Egypt a few months after his birth, and Copeland spent his formative years in the Middle East. He attended the American Community School in Beirut, Lebanon, where he played drums at school dances, before moving to England and attending Millfield from 1967-1969. Copeland went to college in California, attending California Western University and UC Berkeley. He returned to England in 1975, playing drums for the progressive rock band Curved Air.
