Renegade Orchestra

The Beauty of a Symphony. The Soul of a Rock Band.

It’s time to throw out all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.

Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want, the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never, or maybe shouldn’t do.

For this special concert, a core group of San Francisco bay area players will be joined by fantastic players from all over the island. This large ensemble includes members of the band Dirty Cello.

No sleepy pop songs. No overly-lush jazz standards. Just the pure, unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do.


From elite concert halls to warehouses, secret underground theaters,
and even a vintage boathouse, Renegade Orchestra can rock anywhere.

What They’re Saying

“The Renegade Orchestra would rather tackle Hendrix than Handel.”

— Mercury News

“If there’s one piece of advice I would give to anyone interested in seeing this group perform, it would be to expect the unexpected, or better yet, leave your expectations at the door and go in prepared for a ride.”

— Napa Valley Register
