What happens when you take your favorite pop songs (whether it be Bad Romance or Living on a Prayer) add a talented and passionate orchestra musician (Walt Ribeiro) then put the whole thing in the oven and bake it?
You get For Orchestra.
Walt, with the help of a passionate music community, has combined his love of pop and orchestra into a fusion music experience as he’s gone back and rewritten popular songs for orchestral performances. His current collection of re-arranged hits totals more than 40 songs.
AC/DC and Lady Gaga are some popular examples of what he’s done.
Walt’s music chops seem well-honed as he’s already got a self-published CD of more classical-sounding orchestral music behind him as well as collaborations with the likes of Weird Al and speaking engagements at a slew of events over the last few years.
Thanks to reader Chou Xiong-Neri for the heads up!
I checked the songs! They’re really cool. The songs sound weird but very beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
