Rick Wakeman

Before the live recording of "Catherine Howard" on March 23, 2024, at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, Rick Wakeman had just released his album "A Gallery of the Imagination" in 2023. This album showcased his unique blend of classical, rock, and progressive influences, which have been a hallmark of his career. Known for his theatrical performances and virtuosic keyboard playing, Wakeman has a knack for transforming historical themes—like those found in the "Six Wives of Henry VIII" suite—into musical narratives. Interestingly, this performance not only highlights his enduring appeal but also marks a continued celebration of one of his most beloved works, demonstrating his ability to connect with audiences across generations.
