The Classical Mystery Tour! With The Desert Symphony Flashback to February 4, 1964 ... The Beatles made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. More than half a century later, audiences still remember where they were when they watched the Fab Four declare “I Want To Hold Your Hand!” On the 52nd anniversary of this defining moment in American musical history, the original cast of the Broadway sensation Beatlemania returns to your Desert Symphony to perform more than twenty classic Beatles hits on Thursday, March 24, at 8 p.m. Audiences will experience live performances of many Beatles tunes that were never performed live by The Beatles themselves, and great care has been taken to ensure that every note will be performed exactly as it was on the original recordings. Imagine the piccolo trumpet of “Penny Lane”; “Eleanor Rigby” featuring the lush tones of the full string section; and the climax of “A Day in the Life” with the full orchestra in a cacophonous crescendo. “I grew up listening to Beatles songs, and

they are one of the main reasons I fell in love with music,” stated Nancy Tapick. Music Director, Gary Berkson shares his feelings “I’m so excited to have the chance to perform this music live.” Classical Mystery Tour features Jim Owen (John Lennon) on rhythm guitar, piano and vocals; Tony Kishman (Paul McCartney) on bass guitar, piano and vocals;

David John (George Harrison) on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Camilleri (Ringo Star) on drums and vocals. The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock concert. The show presents more than two dozen Beatles tunes transcribed note-for-note and performed exactly as they were originally re-

corded. Hear “Penny Lane” with a live trumpet section, experience the beauty of “Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar and string quartet, and enjoy the classical/rock blend on “I Am the Walrus.” Classical Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles – from early Beatles music on through the solo years – like you’ve never heard them before.
