The Beatles take the stage through Heartland Festival Orchestra's 'Classical Mystery Tour'

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra

On this week’s Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland Wright of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with Conductor David Commanday about the Heartland Festival Orchestra’s upcoming Beatles tribute concert 'Classical Mystery Tour,' taking place Saturday, May 27 at Five Points Washington.

The four musicians of 'Classical Mystery Tour' look and sound just like The Beatles, and they are backed by a full orchestra — playing Beatles classics exactly as they were recorded. Learn more and purchase tickets here.
