Fans of British group The Beatles, mark Saturday, 26 October 2024 on your calendar as the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) presents the group’s biggest hits with a twist at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.
At 8.30 pm, the MPO will be led by Gerard Salonga and entertain the audience with orchestral arrangements of Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Here Comes the Sun, Penny Lane, She Loves You and many more, with a Baroque flavour taken from Bach, Vivaldi and Handel. All songs were arranged by composer/conductor/pianist Peter Breiner.
Themed Beatles Go Baroque, this concert is brought back due to popular demand; it was first presented by the MPO in 2022 and perfectly demonstrated popular music in a classical style marking the MPO’s innovative approach towards providing entertainment for a diverse audience.
In 1962, The Beatles recorded its debut single Love Me Do followed by the release of its debut album titled Please Please Me. Referred as ‘the fabulous foursome’ and then ‘Fab Four’, the group conquered England by the end of 1963. In addition to touring Great Britain, the group toured internationally to Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. By the summer of 1966, the group gave its last commercial concert in San Francisco.
The Beatles became the best-selling band in history with an album sales estimation of one billion units. In 1970, each member went their own creative ways but the music and influence endure to this day, as testified by this MPO concert. The Beatles is more than a band; it symbolized an era, an essential part of the collective consciousness of the 1960s.
Join the MPO in an enticing programme where every beat tells a story.
