Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra to perform The Who’s Quadrophenia Feb 6 and 7 at 8:00 p.m.

UROQuadropheniaFor the second time, The URO performs The Who’s masterpiece, QUADROPHENIA, in its entirety. Perhaps the most thought-provoking concept album ever produced, Quadrophenia is a complex work that delves into the depths of human feeling and expression – from the opening chords of “The Real Me” to the closing jubilation of “Love Reign O’er Me,” this might be the most power-packed recording ever made. Please join us for two incredible evenings of rock and roll.

The Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra is a giant 9-vocalist rock band that performs thunderous, fist-in-the-air renditions of classic 70’s Brit Rock.

As the works of Mozart and Beethoven live on in symphonies, the URO performs as a unique and unconventional kind of orchestra, bringing to vivid life the glorious music of Queen, David Bowie, The Beatles, The Who and Led Zeppelin. Performing with power, nuance and feeling, the URO is honored to bring these iconic classic songs to today’s audiences.

FROM BILLBOARD.COM Filled with performances packed with life, depth and personality, “Quadrophenia” is 90 minutes of the Who at its very best. “The reason why the album is so important to me is that I think it’s the Who’s last great album, really,” Townshend told Billboard in 2011. But what makes it great isn’t the production or the sound effects but the bones of the songs: the music and the lyrics as well as the individual guitar, bass, vocal, and drum performances from Townshend, Entwistle, Daltrey, and Moon. The Who’s second rock opera, “Quadrophenia”, was Pete Townshend’s homage to an earlier moment in British youth culture. Composed entirely by Townshend, the 17-song opus told the story of Jimmy, a member of the Mods–a U.K. subculture–by chronicling his dissatisfaction with life, work, love, home, and family. But it also functioned as an ode to teenage angst and counterculture rebellion, as well as a criticism of the British class, economic and educational systems. And, finally “Quadrophenia” told the story of the Who’s first fans in the band’s earliest days, playing pubs and clubs in and around London in the ’60s.
