What Is Red Bull Symphonic?
Red Bull Symphonic is a soulful meeting of artistry and sound, where a world-class performer collaborates with a prominent symphony orchestra to transform their greatest hits.
On February 28, 2025, and for the first time ever in Canada, Red Bull Symphonic is enlisting Grammy-nominated, Canadian R&B artist Charlotte Day Wilson to create a show rooted in the soulful grooves and smooth rhythms of R&B by blending both classical and modern sounds.
So, what is Red Bull Symphonic?
The concept of Red Bull Symphonic is based on the unprecedented collaboration between a modern-style artist and a classical music director, together with a full-scale symphonic orchestra. The repertoire from the modern-style artist gets a symphonic rearrangement and the collaboration comes to life in a spectacular one-night-only performance, held at a unique and prestigious venue. Audiences will witness the process through bespoke content that tells the story of this collaboration between talents from different musical worlds, co-created and made possible by Red Bull.
Some notable Red Bull Symphonic performances include Metro Boomin and a 43-piece orchestra putting on a riveting 90-minute set at the sold-out Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles; Rick Ross and Orchestra Noir reimagining hip-hop to a sold-out crowd in Atlanta in what was a night to remember; and boundary-pushing artist Genesis Owusu performing alongside a 40-piece orchestra at Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia.
