One Love. One Heart.Bob Marley’s music changed the sound of the world. In this powerful orchestral tribute, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra joins four international reggae vocalists to celebrate the life, message, and music of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
The songs in this “rockumentary” style musical journey through Marley’s life and legacy are performed by a live reggae band, four guest vocalists, and full symphony orchestra, weaving together storytelling, visuals, and new orchestral arrangements of Marley’s most beloved music. From early roots reggae to global anthems of unity and resistance, the show traces the emotional arc of Marley’s life while bringing fresh symphonic color to songs that have inspired generations.
The production marks the 80th anniversary of Bob Marley’s birth, bringing together reggae artists and symphonic musicians in a large-scale multimedia concert honoring Marley’s message of love, unity, and social justice.
The New Haven Symphony Orchestra is proud to present the U.S. premiere of this exciting production.
Audiences will hear iconic songs such as No Woman, No Cry, Is This Love, Redemption Song, and One Love performed in powerful new arrangements that blend reggae rhythm with the color and scale of a full orchestra.
