I Want To Know What Love Is,\u201d \u201cCold As Ice,\u201d \u201cWaiting For A Girl Like You,\u201d \u201cHot Blooded,\u201d \u201cJuke Box Hero.\u201d FOREIGNER<\/strong>\u2019s<\/strong> timeless anthems are known and loved by generations. Streams and airplay place the band among the top artists every week.\u201cI Want To Know What Love Is\u201d is one of the very few songs by heritage artists certified for one billion streams on Spotify, and the high-profile use of \u201cJuke Box Hero\u201d in the Netflix blockbuster Happy Gilmore 2 was viewed by almost a hundred million in the first two weeks of its release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the band has reinterpreted these songs with an orchestra, bringing an exciting new dimension to FOREIGNER\u2019s music. The orchestral concerts are a celebration of the band\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOREIGNER\u2019s love for orchestral performance of their hit songs began in Switzerland in 2017 when they appeared in Lucerne with the 21st<\/sup> Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus,resulting in a TV special which can be seen on PBS TV. It can be viewed here<\/a>. Subsequently, they toured the show internationally, culminating with a sold-out appearance at the iconic Sydney Opera House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOREIGNER fan club members will have access to a pre-sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
