About Renaissance and Renaissance Live!
Renaissance is one of the most artistically ambitious bands to emerge from the British progressive rock movement of the early 1970s. Formed in 1969, the band carved out a singular niche by blending classical orchestration, folk sensibility, and complex compositional structures with rock instrumentation — a sound that stood apart from peers like Yes or Genesis and earned a devoted global following that has never wavered.
At the heart of the Renaissance sound is the extraordinary voice of Annie Haslam, whose five-octave soprano remains one of rock music's most breathtaking instruments. Across landmark albums like Scheherazade and Other Stories, Ashes Are Burning, and Turn of the Cards, the band built a catalog of genuinely orchestral rock music that holds up as powerfully today as it did fifty years ago.
Renaissance Live! is the band performing at its most ambitious — a full orchestral presentation that transforms the concert hall into something closer to a classical music experience than a traditional rock show. Attendees experience Renaissance's catalog the way it was always meant to sound: rich, layered, and fully realized with live orchestral accompaniment. For Atlanta fans searching for The Renaissance Orchestra – Renaissance Live! Atlanta tickets, this December 11 date at the Tabernacle is the event of the season.
Renaissance has maintained a rigorous commitment to live performance excellence, and their Atlanta appearances have consistently drawn audiences that span generations — lifelong fans who discovered the band in the 1970s alongside younger listeners discovering progressive rock for the first time. Renaissance Live! delivers something rare in today's concert landscape: genuine artistic ambition paired with veteran musicianship.
