Symphonic Quincy Jones

Symphonic Quincy Jones In two electrifying evenings, Estonia’s esteemed representative orchestra dons the swagger of a symphonic funk band to honor the legacy of the legendary 28‑time Grammy winner, Quincy Jones (1933‑2024). With a career that never compromised on quality, Jones shaped the soundtracks of pop, jazz and cinema, from Frank Sinatra’s classics to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and the iconic music of Hollywood films. Guided by Grammy‑winning composer, conductor and arranger Jules Buckley, the program is a meticulously curated tribute—each orchestral arrangement refined with Jones’s own approval, preserving the maestro’s distinctive taste and style. Buckley, renowned for transcending genre boundaries and redefining orchestral performance, first brought this tribute to life at the 2016 BBC Proms in London, and it has since dazzled audiences in Stuttgart, Paris, Montreux, Seattle and at the 85th‑birthday gala for Jones at London’s O2 Arena. In 2023, the 90th‑birthday celebrations at the Hollywood Bowl, again led by Buckley, featured stellar soloists including Stevie Wonder and John Legend. Feel the energy, love and timeless innovation of Quincy Jones as the orchestra reimagines his film scores, jazz riffs and pop anthems—an unforgettable celebration that keeps his music alive for a new generation.
