* Lighthouse

Profile

In 1968 jazz composer Paul Hoffert and rock drummer Skip Prokop asked guitarist Ralph Cole to join them in forming a 13-piece rock orchestra called Lighthouse. Ralph agreed and their explosive sound immediately captured the attention of a generation eager for musical innovation. Lighthouse's blend of hard-driving rhythms, jazzy horn lines and soaring orchestral arrangements attracted the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in 1970, resulting in a ground-breaking collaboration and subsequent collaborations with symphony orchestras across North America as well as with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. More than 33 years later, the 10-piece Lighthouse features the original nucleus of Skip, Paul and Ralph and is wowing the nostalgic Boomer crowd — and a whole new generation!
