<p><b>Rock Meets Classic</b> ist eine Konzertreihe, die seit 1993 in 8 europäischen Ländern mit mittlerweile über 750.000 Besuchern auf Tournee ist. Bisheriger Höhepunkt war der Auftritt als Headliner am 31.07.2015 auf dem "Rock of Ages" Open Air Festival und am 01.08.2015 auf dem legendären Wacken - Open Air vor über 80.000 Besuchern. Die Produktion lebt von der Spannung und Konsequenz zweier Musikrichtungen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein können. Ein <a href="Symphonieorchester" class="mw-redirect" title="Symphonieorchester">Symphonieorchester</a> und eine Band spielen gemeinsam Hits der Rockgeschichte, die hauptsächlich von den jährlich wechselnden Original-Sängern gesungen werden. Das eigens für die Konzertreihe zusammengestellte <i>RMC Symphony Orchestra</i> übernimmt dabei den <a href="Klassische_Musik" title="Klassische Musik">klassischen Teil</a> der Arrangements, während die Rockband & Chor zuständig sind für den rockigen Teil. Zum festen Stamm der Rock meets Classic Band gehören <a href="Alex_Beyrodt" title="Alex Beyrodt">Alex Beyrodt</a> & <a href="Tom_Naumann_(Musiker)" title="Tom Naumann (Musiker)">Tom Naumann</a>. 2020 musste die Tour wegen der Corona-Pandemie vorzeitig abgebrochen werden, in den Jahren 2021 und 2022 fanden wegen der Pandemie keine Tourneen statt.

<p>1992 gab es ein erstes Mal eine Rock-Meets-Classic-Tournee. Die Idee dazu hatte der Tourneeveranstalter und Produzent Manfred Hertlein, Geschäftsführer und Gründer der Manfred Hertlein Veranstaltungs GmbH.

Nach einem umjubelten Auftritt bei <a href="Thomas_Gottschalk" title="Thomas Gottschalk">Thomas Gottschalks</a> „<a href="Wetten%2C_dass..%3F" title="Wetten, dass..?">Wetten, dass..?</a>“ ging Rock Meets Classic 1993 erstmalig auf eine 30-Städte-Tournee durch die Bundesrepublik.

Rock Meets Classic unterscheidet sich von anderen Produktionen dieser Art darin, dass die Songs von den Original-Interpreten gesungen und nicht nur instrumental reproduziert werden.
