Renaissance

Renaissance is a band with a rich history unique unto themselves as progressive rock pioneers who rose from the ashes of the seminal UK rock band, The Yardbirds. Acclaimed for their unique blending of progressive rock with classical and symphonic influences, the band's career has now spanned over fifty years spearheaded by the 5-octave voice of Annie Haslam and the masterful songwriting skills of the late Michael Dunford and Betty Thatcher. They are widely considered to be the band that most successfully and routinely utilized the sound of a full orchestra in their recordings.

The band has toured throughout the world and has performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and additionally at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Chorale Society. Renaissance had a top ten hit in the UK with their song “Northern Lights” that still demands airplay to this day. In recent years the band has toured the U.S, Europe, Japan and Brazil and released several ‘live’ concerts on CD and DVDs to critical acclaim!

In this concert season of 2024, the band will be travelling the U.S, presenting a repertoire of the most popular Renaissance classics spanning the band's vast and successful career.

This will be their ‘IN GRATITUDE’ FAREWELL Tour.
