The Beatles and Friends
Exhilarating musical adventures are in store for you in the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra’s highly-anticipated 56th season, “Expect the Unexpected,” beginning Saturday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m. at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church with "The Beatles and Friends.” Lavish orchestral arrangements of Beatles favorites and choral settings of music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, sung by members of the Apollo Chorus of Chicago, along with music of Bill Joel and selections from Elton John’s “The Lion King” promise a fabulous evening of musical treats you will long remember.
Those attending the October 1 concert are invited to a festive buffet dinner catered by DiLeo’s beginning at 5:15 p.m. The cost is $25 per person. Please call the ESO Box Office to purchase tickets.
Concert costs are underwritten in part with generous gifts from Elaine Libovicz (music) and John and Reva Lizzadro (the Apollo Chorus singers.)
Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, the ESO’s musical home, is located at 149 W. Brush Hill Rd. in Elmhurst. The church has accessible parking and facilities; parking is free. The concert experience at ECRC is enhanced by the informative and lively discussion, Behind the Music Stand, led by audience favorite Dr. Ted Hatmaker, which takes place at 5:45 p.m. prior to the concert. Joining Dr. Hatmaker for this discussion will be Beatles expert Greg Alexander, aka Professor Moptop.
