Stewart Copeland and Police Deranged with the SFCM Orchestra
Partnership events offer the unique opportunity for our students to work with outside organizations, allowing them to work with professionals in the industry and learn from their expertise.
Under the direction of Edwin Outwater, Stewart Copeland’s Police Deranged for Orchestra is a high energy orchestral evening featuring more than two dozen SFCM students who join the legendary drummer to perform his unique "derangements" of classic songs from his iconic band The Police. This concert will be an evening bursting with hits including Roxanne, Don’t Stand To Close To Me, and Message in a Bottle as well as celebrating Copeland’s long career in the music industry.

About the SFCM Orchestra
As a member of the SFCM Orchestra, you’ll experience firsthand the advantages of playing in a large ensemble. You’ll also get a complete overview of orchestral repertoire, and that begins with examining both masterworks and lesser-known pieces of every era. The symphony orchestra has a large repertoire, and each stylistic period deserves attention. Do you take to the classical period works of Mozart and Haydn? The grand romantic works of Brahms and Tchaikovsky? How about the 20th-century masterpieces by Aaron Copland and Benjamin Britten? Add to that more recent works by such luminaries as John Adams and Joan Tower, and collaborations with Opera Theatre, and you’re on your way to becoming the well-rounded, informed musician the performing world expects.
The SFCM Orchestra presents several performances a year that prominently feature student soloists. Participation also includes public orchestral workshops with distinguished guest conductors. Recent guests have included Donald Runnicles, Carl St. Clair, Nicola Luisotti, and Peter Oundjian.
