Beatles Night: Classical Mystery Tour with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra
Saturday, March 27
Imagine The Beatles playing in concert with a symphony orchestra. What would that have sounded like? Find out for yourself when Classical Mystery Tour performs live in concert. The Los Angeles Times called the show " more than just an incredible simulation...swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave Saturday's live performance a high goose-bump quotient...the crowd stood and bellowed for more." Classical Mystery Tour is more then just a rock concert. The full show presents some 30 Beatles tunes sung, played, and preformed exactly as they were written. 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.
