Rebecca Roudman, co-founder of Renegade Orchestra, highlights the Piedmont Center for the Arts as a pivotal venue for their first concert in 2021, which sold out quickly. The ensemble, known for adapting rock and jazz standards into orchestral versions, values intimate venues, as they create a sense of connection with the audience. Roudman notes their eclectic performance history, having played in various locations, and emphasizes how these experiences shape their musical approach. The upcoming indoor concert promises surprising arrangements of familiar songs, reflecting the orchestra's renegade spirit.
We needed a place to have a second show for the overflow. Fortunately, the PCA said, 'Let's do it.' I remember we had an outdoor concert, which you don't picture when you think about a rock n' roll orchestra.
Intimate stages gain advantage by allowing an audience to feel like one of us, like a part of what we're doing.
Choosing iconic songs that are played by a rock orchestra means the songs are familiar but also different.
Yes. When we played outdoors, I think there was construction nearby, and we competed with those sounds.
