UNCOVERED: U2 & THE ROLLING STONES

OCTOBER 22 - 25, 2024

A Musical Stage Company Production

Arrangements, Orchestrations, and Music Co-Supervision by Kevin Wong

The Musical Stage Company’s 18th annual UNCOVERED concert is back this October to spotlight the music of the two most iconic rock bands in music history, U2 & The Rolling Stones!

From U2’s politically charged and soaring arrangements to The Rolling Stones’ rebellious spirit and blues-influenced melodies, the innovation and success of these artists’ careers have spanned decades, garnering an immense amount of admiration for each other’s legacies. Each known for their ability to create anthemic songs like “(Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, “Ruby Tuesday”, “With or Without You”, and “Where the Streets Have No Name”, their approach to their music is ever-evolving and adapting, cementing both bands reputations as pillars of rock music history.

Kevin Wong returns for his second year as the creative visionary behind UNCOVERED following last season’s wildly successful debut showcasing the music of Fleetwood Mac & The Eagles. As always this year’s UNCOVERED concert will feature award-winning Canadian artists who have graced international stages and screens. UNCOVERED: U2 & THE ROLLING STONES will be on stage at Koerner Hall October 22 - 25, 2024.

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE STARTING TODAY EXCLUSIVELY TO GROUPS OF 8 OR MORE.

Her parents are famous. Her boyfriend is stupid. And Suzie is a mess.

When she accepts a mature piano student obsessed with mastering only one song, Erik Satie’s “Gymnopedie No. 1”, struggling songwriter Suzie’s life takes an unforeseen turn. Full of family turmoil and centred around a devastating discovery, AFTER THE RAIN is a new Canadian musical based on a true story that unflinchingly embraces life’s complexities and the healing power of music.
