The Beatles — Selected works

Jeff Tyzik, conductor

Imagine the Beatles playing in concert with a symphony orchestra. Hear "Penny Lane" with a live trumpet section; experience the beauty of "Yesterday" with an acoustic guitar and string quartet; enjoy the rock/classical blend on the hard edged "I Am the Walrus." From early Beatles music on through the solo years, Classical Mystery Tour is the best of the Beatles like you've never heard them: totally live.

With Jim Owen (rhythm guitar and piano and vocals), Tony Kishman (bass guitar and piano and vocals), David John (lead guitar and vocals), and Chris Camilleri (drums and vocals).

--> LMP CRITIC'S PICK. If you were/are a Beatles fan, here’s your chance to wallow in their music again, as the Seattle Symphony brings James Owen’s classical mystery tour, A Tribute to the Beatles, to a pops concert at Benaroya Hall. Should be a blast. ~ Philippa Kiraly, classical music critic
