Paul McCartney's music is coming to the Seattle Symphony, September 16-19, 2010. And it promises to be more than just some violins and a sleepy conductor.
The Seattle Symphony website announces that "Live and Let Die:the McCartney Experience" combines the power of pop with the beauty of symphonic orchestration to bring an incredible concert experience to Paul McCartney and Beatles fans of all ages. Conductor Martin Herman leads the Orchestra and the band as they re-create McCartney’s most popular songs.
Live and Let Die features a four piece band and a full symphony orchestra. Tony Kishman (Paul), Jim Owen, (John) and Chris Camilleri (Ringo) are accomplished Beatles musicians from the group "Twist and Shout".
Veteran of the Broadway hit, Beatlemania, Tony Kishman (Paul) has toured worldwide with many productions.
Jim Owen (John) starred in the masterpiece Beatles production, "Classical Mystery Tour" which has given him notoriety as a producer and band leader. Jim's continued enthusiasm for his role as "John" in the show is irresistibly infectious to the audience, leaving them wanting more.
Chris Camilleri (Ringo) formed the internationally-renowned Beatles cover band Liverpool, which still reunites to perform at the Fests For Beatles Fans (formerly Beatlefest).
Some of the songs featured in the set include: Hey Jude, Penny Lane, Live and Let Die, Yesterday, My Love, Uncle Albert, Let It Be, Maybe I'm Amazed, Hello Good-Bye, Long and Winding Road, Get Back, Silly Love Songs, Jet, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club, plus many more.
Tickets to the event can be purchased at the Seattle Symphony website. Please see the you tube video below of Tony Kishman doing McCartney songs.
