World-renowned drummer Stewart Copeland, founder of the rock band The Police, has spent more than three decades at the forefront of contemporary music as a rock star and an acclaimed film composer.

Copeland is a Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. He’s in Pittsburgh this week to promote his composition “Satan’s Fall,” a commissioned work for large chorus to be performed by the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, for which he is serving as composer-in-residence. The world premiere of “Satan’s Fall” will be performed Feb. 7 and 8, 2020, at the newly restored Roxian Theatre in McKees Rocks.

Stewart Copeland sat down with the Trib this week to discuss The Police, “Satan’s Fall” and working with the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh.
