The Music of Led Zeppelin — RPO at Kodak Center | July 17, 2026
If you had this one circled for April — good news, it did not disappear. The show was rescheduled, and the new date is Friday, July 17. Kodak Center on West Ridge Road is the kind of room that makes a large-scale production feel right-sized, and Windborne’s The Music of Led Zeppelin is exactly that kind of show.
About the Show
A quick note before you buy: this is not the original band. Led Zeppelin has not toured in decades, and this is not a reunion. What is happening is Windborne’s The Music of Led Zeppelin, presented by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor and arranger Brent Havens built this production in 1995 — Windborne Music’s very first Classic Rock Symphony venture — and has been touring it approximately 90 nights a year across North America for more than two decades.
The approach is worth understanding before you go. Havens’ goal is to take Zeppelin’s catalog as close to the original recordings as possible, then layer orchestral harmonies and counterpoint melodies on top. In his words: “The band reproduces what Led Zeppelin did on the albums verbatim, and then an orchestra behind the band gives the music richness, a whole different feel, and a whole different sense of power.” The RPO is not backing the band from a distance — it functions as another instrument inside it. Add arena-style lighting and this becomes something genuinely different from a standard tribute night.
Randy Jackson handles Robert Plant’s demanding vocal range. The band features Dan Clemens on bass, Powell Randolph on drums, George Cintron on guitar, and Allegra on electric violin. The RPO has programmed 18 selections from the Zeppelin catalog for this performance — expect Kashmir, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song, Rock and Roll, Ramble On, Good Times Bad Times, and All of My Love among them.
About Kodak Center
Kodak Center is at 200 W Ridge Rd on Rochester’s northwest side — a proper theater with good sight lines and acoustics that hold up for orchestral work. If you have not made it out to the Rochester / Finger Lakes region for a show yet, this is a solid reason to start.
