Relive the concert that changed history with THE BEATLES 60th Anniversary Tribute with the FSO!

Step back in time to one of the most iconic moments in music history in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of The Beatles’ first groundbreaking U.S. concert. Journey back to Feb. 11, 1964 when The Beatles took the stage at the Washington Coliseum, direct from their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Experience the original 1964 concert setlist brought to life by the “Fab Four” of the Classical Mystery Tour in a mesmerizing tribute that captures their unforgettable music! The Fairfax Symphony joins the group in the second half for a night of nostalgia as every era of The Beatles’ enduring legacy will be celebrated.  

From the early days of “Please Please Me” and “She Loves You” to the experimental sounds of “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and the timeless beauty of “Let It Be,” the full show presents some two dozen Beatles hits performed exactly as they were written.

Hear “Penny Lane” with a live trumpet section; experience the beauty of “Yesterday” with acoustic guitar and string quartet; enjoy the rock/classical blend on the hard-edged “I Am the Walrus.” From early Beatles music through the solo years, Classical Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles like you’ve never heard them before. “This was not merely a show; it was a happening, a love fest, a sing-along, and a trip down penny lane.” –Examiner.com
