Steve Hackman's Taylor Swift: The Symphony Era

4.7

Details

Calling all Swifties and symphony lovers: Steve Hackman’s Taylor Swift: The Symphony Era is turning Taylor’s catalog into a full-on orchestral adventure on June 6, 2026 at 7:30 pm.

Composer and conductor Steve Hackman is known for his genre-bending fusion concerts, and this time he’s taking on one of the most influential artists on the planet, Taylor Swift. Instead of a standard “greatest hits” show, you’ll get a completely reimagined, through-composed symphonic journey built from her songs.

  • Experience Taylor’s music like never before as greatest hits are woven together with deep cuts and hidden gems into one continuous symphonic tapestry.

  • Listen for clever musical “easter eggs” as melodies and lyrics from different eras surprise you in new contexts, keeping even the most dedicated fans guessing what’s coming next.

  • Enjoy a full band and four vocalists onstage with the orchestra, creating a lush, cinematic soundscape that amplifies the emotion and storytelling in her songwriting.

  • Feel the drama of a live orchestra bringing pop hooks, bridges, and bridges to life with sweeping strings, bold brass, and intricate arrangements.

This is not a tribute band, and it’s not a standard classical concert either. It’s a hybrid performance where orchestral power meets pop brilliance, designed to highlight just how sophisticated and versatile Taylor’s songwriting really is.

Expect soaring arrangements of fan favorites, unexpected mashups, and fresh connections between songs from different eras of her career. From tender ballads to high-energy anthems, the show reshapes them into something new, yet still unmistakably Taylor.

If you love Taylor Swift, symphonic music, or just big, emotionally immersive concerts, this is the kind of night you dress up for, sing along (when appropriate), and let yourself get swept away by the sound.
