The music of Legendary band 'Led Zeppelin', has been arranged by Conductor/arranger Brent Havens, in such a unique way that the gulf between rock n' roll, and classical music has been bridged. With 'The Music of Led Zeppelin', he wanted more and more people to feel Led Zeppelin's timeless tunes. Led Zeppelin's "sheer blast and power" has been performed by an orchestra, and amplified by screaming vocals, and in the process new musical colors have been added to the music.

The original music of Led Zeppelin has been spiced up by Brent Havens, he has given his touch to the legendary music. Randy Jackson, lead singer of the rock band Zebra, delivers a note-for-note rendition of the classic music. He acts as a link between the audience, and the made over material. Jackson captures the spirit of legendary Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant.
The symphonic rock hybrid has been accepted with great enthusiasm by the critics as well as the music loving public. For the show, the stage is done up like a rock concert stage. The first note itself is enough to make the audience realize as to what is in store for them. Even the classical musicians enjoy the change of pace. The show was first conceived for Virginia Symphony.
Right from the beginning Havens understood the pulse of the fans, and he maintained the original familiar elements of the music. The orchestra was used only for enhancement. Havens had a large landscape of a 50-piece orchestra to work with. The unusual progressions and complex beat patterns, contained within straight-forward rock n' roll, made the music of Led Zeppelin the best choice for scoring.
