Wenn sich zu Schlagzeug, Bass und Gitarre dann auch noch Streicher und Bläser mischen, ist eine energiegeladene Rockparty garantiert. Das WDR Funkhausorchester spielt Klassiker der Musikgeschichte von den Rolling Stones bis Queen, von Metallica bis AC/DC – und beweist: Auch ein Orchester kann so richtig abrocken! Unterstützt werden die Musikerinnen und Musiker von Sänger Alex Melcher – der in Hauptrollen etwa in "We Will Rock You" oder "Jesus Christ Superstar" seit vielen Jahren seine ganz große Rock-Stimme unter Beweis stellt.
