The next event in Orchestra Iowa’s historic Centennial season is “Best of The Beatles,” featuring Classical Mystery Tour, who portray each of the unique eras of The Fab Four. It’s the third time the group has performed with Orchestra Iowa, and it’s always one of the most popular shows.
The Orchestra functions truly as the “Fifth Beatle” in a show like this, because the orchestrations have become just as ingrained into our memories of these classic tunes just as much as the voices of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Dennis thinks just hearing Andy Classen on the piccolo trumpet on Penny Lane is worth the entire admission price.
Feb. 11 at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets at www.orchestraiowa.org.
