“One of the goals of the symphony is to improve the quality of life through performance and music education,” said MOSC Executive Director Ethan Wills. “By meeting the concert, we meet the performance part. But when you talk about music education, people may or may not agree with what they think of the Beatles, but you can’t deny the impact they had on rock if it wasn’t. is about music in general. It’s that perfect concert where the youngest can go out. The Beatles are timeless. I just know any age will appreciate it. This is what makes me really excited. Putting great songs with great musicians feels good. “

The concert will feature dozens of Beatles songs performed exactly as they were recorded.
