Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to Perform Beatles Tribute, 10/16-17

The Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will kick off the 2015-16 Delta POPS! season with the 'Classical Mystery Tour - A Beatles Tribute' on October 16-17, 2015 at 8 p.m. The performance at Atlanta Symphony Hall will be led by Principal POPS! Conductor Michael Krajewski.

Fifty years ago, the Beatles played their only Atlanta concert at what was then Atlanta Stadium, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will recreate that concert with an evening of iconic Beatles classics featuring one of the nation's best Beatles tribute bands, now the No. 1 symphony pops attraction of the past decade.

The tribute band's four members look, dance and sing exactly like the original Beatles - John, Paul, George and Ringo - from hair and costumes to note-for-note lyrics performed exactly as recorded when rock 'n' roll was the hip, new thing.

The performers and audience will Twist and Shout to more than two dozen favorite Beatles tunes during the 'Classical Mystery Tour,' and All You Need Is Love - and a ticket - available online at atlantasymphony.org or by calling 404.733.5000.
