West Herr Auditorium Theatre
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is hosting the epic music of Tina Turner in a performance entitled The Music of Tina Turner at the historic West Herr Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, New York, on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This celebration salutes the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, whose vibrant voice ruled stages worldwide until her exit in 2023. "Proud Mary," "What's Love Got to Do with It," and "Private Dancer" are transformed with natural flair by the talented Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Tina's journey was ignited by the smash-hit musical that traveled Broadway and beyond, garnering rave reviews and pulling in millions, while her last album, the 1999 release Twenty Four Seven, showcased her lasting spirit admirably.
Very much like similar tributes appearing across symphonies like the Phoenix Symphony's "Simply the Best" show, this concert outlines some of her milestones, which include her incredible 12 Grammy wins and her induction into the Rock Hall of Fame. Tickets begin at a mere $53, a giveaway price for a performance worthy of the epic star she became. Secure your tickets now to experience the magic of Tina's unstoppable charisma.
The Music of Tina Turner is brought to you at the exquisite and majestic West Herr Auditorium Theater by the renowned Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday, the second of May 2026, in Rochester, New York. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, as yet, will be the primary performer. The lineup displays all the famous songs of Tina Turner from her illustrious career, brought to life through some magnificent orchestral arrangements. This performance is featured in the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's 2025-26 program, which has already begun to draw widespread interest. The season incorporates several shows throughout Rochester, highlighting symphonic mixes with pop styles, though detailed travel info, apart from local dates, has not yet been widely publicized.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, often called the RPO, is renowned for rich performances of classic and modern works. Audiences have, in the past, experienced a host of exquisite performances by this Philharmonic Orchestra, ranging from iconic and wonderful compositions of the Beethoven's symphonies to the more catchy and popular re-imaginings of pop music from, sadly, now aging pop music moguls. The ensemble has earned honors and huge popularity for their recordings, and they are honored for their creative seasons. Their newest recording, comprising a small library of diverse works, features songs like Mason Bates’ Mothership, where their versatility is brought to the fore. Drawing from web info, the RPO's 2025-26 season focuses on celebrations and debuts, featuring salutes like this one.
A interesting detail: The RPO was established in 1922 and has performed with stars like Itzhak Perlman.
Sadly, and with regret, we must advise that Tina Turner will not be appearing herself. This show spotlights her epic catalog supported through the orchestra's style. Most of her well-known tracks, like "Proud Mary," "What's Love Got to Do with It," and "River Deep - Mountain High," will be performed with that pure power in an orchestral format. In her career, Turner garnered and can boast many honors and recognitions, some of which are her 12 Grammy Awards, her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2012, she was awarded a Kennedy Center Award. Her final project, a retrospective of best hits in 2020, reexplores songs like "Private Dancer." Online info draws attention to her biography performed throughout America, inspiring young audiences.
A neat detail: Turner moved over 100 million records and was called the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll.
