15 Jul Special concert at the Metal Church, Wacken
Tarja Turunen reached international fame as the queen of Symphonic Metal, but her deep love for classical music is also well known by her audience. Besides touring the world with her rock albums she also performs frequently classical concerts with orchestra and choir, lied concerts, and Christmas concerts. On the 3rd of August 2016 you will have the chance to witness a unique concert, a onetime-only event that will open the Wacken Open Air 2016 festival in front of only 300 handpicked fans.
Wacken Open Air, together with Tarja, earMUSIC and Metal Hammer are pleased to present you a very special and intimate concert in the classical set of the Wacken Metal Church, where Tarja will perform together with piano, cello and violin. The program will present, among classical pieces, exclusive arrangements of songs from some of Tarja’s most loved heavy metal artists, like In Flames, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Joe Satriani, Megadeth, Rammstein, Metallica and Slipknot.
