In short

Chris Blem is a vocalist appearing with US symphony orchestras as a soloist on pops programs. Our directory lists upcoming performances with the Sarasota Orchestra in a show called "Music of the Knights" and with the Kansas City Symphony in a Jimmy Buffett tribute program, "Tropical Rock for Five O'Clock Somewhere."

What to listen for

These appearances are pops concerts built around familiar, singable repertoire rather than classical vocal works. "Music of the Knights" suggests a program of songs by British rock artists who have been knighted, likely drawing on names such as Elton John, Paul McCartney, or Rod Stewart, arranged for orchestra behind a lead vocalist. The Kansas City program is a tribute to Jimmy Buffett, meaning listeners can expect breezy, beach-inflected favorites like "Margaritaville" reimagined with full orchestral backing. In both cases, the listener's experience centers on hearing well-loved popular songs given a symphonic arrangement, with the vocalist out front carrying the melody and connecting with the audience in a concert-hall pops setting.
