ANDREW YOUNG – ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN

 


Presented by Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo and Northlands, Andrew Young is turning up the heat!

Get ready for smooth jazz meets soulful fire with this award-winning, powerhouse saxophonist. With international chart-toppers and show-stopping live performances, Andrew’s music is pure magic — a seamless blend of groove, melody, and heart.

World-renowned saxophonist Andrew Young brings his brand-new show, Roll Over Beethoven, which debuted to rave reviews in Europe earlier in 2025!

Roll Over Beethoven sees Andrew returning to his musical roots. As the only musician in his family, he had both the freedom — and the challenge — to find his own inspiration. From an early age, he immersed himself in an extraordinary range of sounds, from Classical and Jazz to Soul, Rhythm & Blues, and Reggae, all while mastering both the clarinet and saxophone.

This show is a testament to Andrew’s remarkable versatility — one that led Saxophone Journal USA to acclaim him as “one of the most complete saxophone players in the world today.”

Audiences can expect a genre-defying journey through iconic hits including:

Roll Over Beethoven (Chuck Berry);  Habanera (Bizet);  Route 66 (Nat King Cole);  September (Earth, Wind & Fire);  Still Got The Blues (Gary Moore);  Wishing On A Star (Rose Royce) ... and many more! On piano will be Shemual Mahabeer.

Don’t miss this electrifying performance - where classical meets contemporary, and every note ignites the soul.

Andrew has performed alongside legends like Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey, and now he’s lighting up the 2026 season with fresh energy and undeniable charisma.
