WILKES-BARRE — The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic opens their 2024-25 season with the music of the one and only, QUEEN! The concert takes place Friday, September 27, at 7:30 p.m. at F.M. Kirby Center.
On stage will be the Philharmonic orchestra under the baton of Maestra Mélisse Brunet and the singers and dancers of live band Jeans’ n Classics. Enhancing the performance will be the voices of the Marywood Chamber Singers.
On the setlist will be “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions,” “We Will Rock You,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and many other fan favorites from the timeless rock band.
“The music of Queen is unique, and electrifying! The partnership between the NEPA Philharmonic and Jeans’ n Classics will ensure that Queen fans, and those being introduced to Queen for the first time, will have an incredible evening. This is a concert experience not to be missed,” notes Carol Nelson Dembert, Philharmonic Board President.
