Program Notes

The Eagles, a Los Angeles-based rock band, boast seven number-one singles, six Grammys, five American Music awards, six number one albums, and were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. This arrangement features three of their biggest and most-beloved hits, including the bluesy Heartbreak Tonight, the beautiful Desperado, and the mysteriously haunting Hotel California. Classic rock with a contemporary spin.
