In this concert, Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) takes a deep dive into The Beatles discography, performing two classic 1967 albums, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour, both renowned for their experimentation, innovation, and ambition in their use of recorded techniques and varies stylistic influences. Never performed live during The Beatles' short career, Seattle Rock Orchestra will caringly bring these two studio masterpieces to life for a live audience. Featuring the songs “Penny Lane,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” "When I’m Sixty-Four,” "A Day in the Life” and many more, this is a program you won't want to miss!
Seattle Rock Orchestra doesn't hide behind a rock band — it is the rock band! SRO utilizes strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and rotating cast of exciting guest vocalists to deliver high energy tribute shows unlike any other. Each SRO show offers a dynamic mix of possibilities: a classy night out at the symphony with the infectious energy of a dance party, searing rock solos with intimate orchestral moments of staggering beauty, and fan favorite sing-alongs with lesser known 'deep cuts’ — combining to create a fun yet profoundly moving night out that honors the featured artist's lasting legacy.
Seattle Rock Orchestra will also perform a concert of music by Patsy Cline & Loretta Lynn on Sunday, May 1.
