There are concerts you attend, and then there are experiences that stay with you long after the final note fades. Chris Pinnella’s candlelit performances fall firmly in the latter category.

This June, the acclaimed Trans-Siberian Orchestra vocalist returns to AP Rooftop’s Arthur Pryor Bandshell for an evening that transforms familiar classics into something entirely new. Accompanied by his phenomenal 12-piece orchestra and surrounded by over 1,000 flickering candles, Pinnella takes audiences on an emotional journey through reimagined songs by The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and more.

Pinnella’s performances captivate because of their combination of resonant vocals and a master’s skill for stripping away everything you think you know about these iconic songs and revealing their heart and depth beneath. His genre-bending arrangements blend rock, pop, classical and jazz into lush, cinematic soundscapes that feel both intimately personal and grandly theatrical. Even the New York Times can’t get enough, raving, “Pinnella possesses a soaring rich voice that just leaves you speechless. With his amazing band he takes each song into majestic territory.”

Don’t expect background music. Expect an unforgettable evening that reminds you of the power of music to connect, soothe and transform us.

This special outdoor event will feature a full-service bar offering wine, beer, and cocktails throughout the night, along with the AP Rooftop menu available for purchase. A limited number of 14 Exclusive VIP Lounge Tickets will also be offered, providing premium upfront seating and an elevated concert experience.
This event will be general admission, so there is no reserved seating. Feel free to bring a cushion to sit on, blanket or a stadium chair (no beach chairs or chairs with legs will be allowed inside).

In the event of inclement weather, a rain date is scheduled for Monday, June 22.
