Police drummer Stewart Copeland to launch series of "Police Deranged" orchestral concerts in August

Police drummer Stewart Copeland will celebrate the music of his old band with a series of special orchestral concerts dubbed "Police Deranged for Orchestra" that will take place in the coming months.

The show will get its world premiere on August 27 in San Diego at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. The event will feature the San Diego Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edwin Outwater, and joined by Copeland on percussion, three guest singers and a guitarist, performing a selection of The Police's songs, including such classic hits as "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close to Me," "Message in a Bottle" and many others.

According to a press release, Copeland created unique versions of Police tunes that he "deranged" for an orchestra to "give new life to classic songs and select hits" by the band.
