Imagine hearing beloved Beatles songs backed by a full orchestra. The Philly POPS have teamed with the Classical Mystery Tour to make it happen – in the magnificent Trenton War Memorial Patriots Theatre.
Hear Penny Lane with a live trumpet section and experience the beauty of Yesterday with an acoustic guitar and string quartet. This performance will present the best of The Beatles – from the British Invasion through the solo years – like you've never heard them before.
The Los Angeles Times called this program "more than just an incredible simulation...the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave the live performance a high goose-bump quotient...the crowd stood and bellowed for more."
