Blackstar Symphony – The Music Of David Bowie brings Bowie's iconic artistry to life through lush orchestral reimaginings. Originated by saxophonist and composer Donny McCaslin, the project premiered as a world premiere in Charlotte in 2022, pairing Bowie's Blackstar material with dynamic orchestral arrangements. Since then, the ensemble has grown into a celebrated touring project featuring guest performers like Gail Ann Dorsey and John Cameron Mitchell, conducted by Vince Mendoza or Tim Davies, with McCaslin serving as Artistic Director. This page highlights the artist profile, notable discography connections, and a forward-looking schedule of performances across the U.S., including 2025 stops in St. Louis, Nashville, and San Francisco. Secure your seats and experience a fresh, faithful tribute to Bowie's music through a contemporary, orchestral lens.
