Wharton to host Beatles-inspired concert Saturday

February 6, 2013

On Saturday, East Lansing will be infected with Beatlemania.

The four-member group Classical Mystery Tour will bring their Beatles tribute show to Wharton Center. They will be performing the entire concert with Lansing Symphony Orchestra.

The band, comprised of Jim Owen, Tony Kishman, John Brosnan and Chris Camilleri has become known for performing more than 30 Beatles songs on tour. The song list includes hits such as “Eleanor Rigby,” “I Am the Walrus” and “All You Need Is Love.”

Rather than modeling their show after more recent, remastered versions of Beatles songs , the tour focuses on sticking to the original instrumentals meant for each song.

Lansing Symphony Orchestra has remained an integral aspect of music in Greater Lansing since its formation in 1929.

The show’s conductor, Martin Herman, has composed and conducted for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and travelled on fellowships to Paris and the Czech Republic.

Tickets range in price from $15-40. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit whartoncenter.com.
