Aug. 21: White Album Ensemble (Beatles tribute)It began as a Luthier’s dream, to put together a crack team of top musicians to perform the Beatles' “White” album live, in a theatre setting, with lights, dance and a full-screen video presentation. After selling out both shows and creating a considerable buzz around town, the word of mouth from neighbors, friends and co-workers about the quality and vibe of the performance persuaded the group to keep on doing more concerts.
The White Album Ensemble has spent months of rehearsal, and research to make these performances authentic. They wondered “How would the Beatles have approached this as a live performance?” and made that the virtual standard for decisions about instrumentation and arrangements.
This is the band's fifth appearance in as many years at Music in the Park. They will reprise their sets of "White Album" in honor of the album's 40th anniversary.
