Program to be announced from the stage. “These four musicians are jaw-droppingly accurate…the concept is a Beatles concert if the lads had been accompanied by a gifted symphony orchestra” (Cape Cod Times).

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

Classical Mystery Tour features Jim Owen on rhythm guitar, piano, and vocals; Neil Candelora on bass guitar, piano, and vocals; Tom Teeley on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Camilleri on drums and vocals. Martin Herman, who transcribed the musical scores note for note from Beatles recordings, conducts many of the Classical Mystery Tour concerts.

Classical Mystery Tour has been delighting pops audiences for more than 22 years, performing concerts with over 100 orchestras in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The group played sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House, and has performed with America’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Boston Pops, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and many more.

The Los Angeles Times called the show “more than just an incredible simulation…the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave [this] live performance a high goose-bump quotient…the crowd stood and bellowed for more.”
