The Black Jacket Symphony celebrates the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with a full live recreation-plus a full set of The Beatles' greatest hits at Ruth Eckerd Hall On Thursday, April 26 at 8 pm. Dedicated to recreating classic rock albums note for note, sound for sound, The Black Jacket Symphony is bringing along the FlorIda Rock Orchestra for what will be the concert experience of the year.

A selected album is performed in its entirety by a group of handpicked musicians specifically selected for each album, with no sonic detail being overlooked--the musicians do whatever it takes to musically reproduce the music exactly as it sounds on the album. Following the album and a brief intermission, the band will return to the stage for a full set of greatest hits by The Beatles.

Tickets priced at $75, $50, $39 and $29 will be available at the Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office, by calling 727.791.7400 or visiting www.RuthEckerdHall.com. The Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm and one hour prior to show time.
