Symphony Pops: The Music of the Beatles

What would The Beatles have sounded like if they had the chance to perform live in concert with a symphony orchestra? Classical Mystery Tour is as close as it gets! Since its initial performance in 1996 at the Orange County Performing Arts Center (now renamed Segerstrom Center for the Arts), Classical Mystery Tour has become the #1 Symphony Pops attraction over its two decades. The group has been performing consistently for nearly 25 years with more than 100 orchestras in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. It has played to packed houses at the Sydney Opera House and with America's most prestigious orchestras, including The Cleveland Orchestra, The Boston Pops, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The San Francisco Symphony, and many others.

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 performed exactly as they were originally recorded. Hear "Penny Lane" with a live trumpet section. Experience the beauty of "Yesterday" with an acoustic guitar and string quartet. Enjoy the classical/rock blend on "I Am the Walrus," and relish the cascading crescendos on "A Day in the Life."

From early Beatles music on through the solo years, Classical Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles like you've never heard them before. You might say it's the best show The Beatles never did!
