SUMMARY:RICK WAKEMAN - FINAL SOLO TOUR - AN EVENING OF YES MUSIC AND OTHER FAVORITES
DESCRIPTION:Rick Wakeman – Final Solo Tour\nAn Evening of YES Music and Other Favorites\nSaturday\, October 5\n8 PM\nThe ultimate keyboard wizard\, Rick Wakeman CBE\, will be embarking on a tour of the US with a series of solo piano concerts for the last time in 2024. Rick\, who has become almost as well-known for his intimate piano shows as his prog rock extravaganzas\, has decided that after a career spanning over 50 years\, he is calling a halt to lengthy American one-man show tours\, in order to concentrate on composing\, recording and collaborating with other musicians. As an exclusive gift for fans\, on these shows Rick will be premiering a brand new piece of music: Yessonata\, a 30-minute instrumental work featuring YES themes and melodies\, woven into sonata form. \n \nAbout Rick Wakeman CBE\, FRCM\nAfter studying piano privately for 12 years\, Rick gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Music\, where he studied piano\, clarinet and orchestration. In March 2012\, Prince Charles presented him with his Fellowship of the RCM. He was also made a Professor at the London College of Music. \nAs a much sought after session musician in the late sixties and early seventies\, he played on more than 2\,000 records\, including such hits as Cat Stevens’ Morning Has Broken and David Bowie’s Space Oddity and Life on Mars\, and worked with a real eclectic mixture of other notable artistes\, such as Donovan\, Cilla Black\, Marc Bolan\, Black Sabbath\, Lou Reed\, Mary Hopkin\, Dana\, Al Stewart\, Elton John and John Williams. \nIn March 1970\, he joined Strawbs. His first album with them\, Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios\, paved the way for ‘folk-rock’ and reviews from their concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on July 11th of that year did much to take Rick’s career to a new level. \nHe joined YES in August of 1971 and has been in and out of that band on quite a few occasions! (One journalist likened the relationship to that of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor\, in as much as they can’t live with each other\, but in the same breath\, can’t live without each other! Rick told the journalist he didn’t disagree as long as it was accepted that he was ‘Richard Burton’!) \nBoth as a solo artist and with YES\, he has sold more than 50\,000\,000 albums\, although he says that only past management would be able to tell you where the royalties went! \n \n  Check out the City of Rahway’s Dinner & Show Deals! \nSee all of UCPAC’s Upcoming Events
