Classical Mystery Tour: A Tribute to the Beatles is a symphonic tribute to the Fab Four with the Victoria Symphony putting a new spin on classic songs (photo by Terry Barnhill).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIt feels… I don\u2019t know where to start with that because it\u2019s something I wanted to do as a kid,\u201d he says. \u201cI already knew I wanted to do Beatles music when I was seven or eight years old. And I\u2019ve been doing it so long, and I can tell you, it never gets old. I enjoy it every time, everyone in our group does. There is something about Beatles music, it\u2019s so exciting, and of course you present it to a different audience each time, every time it feels new. It\u2019s just wonderful to be able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
The audience can also expect a treat as far as how the performers are dressed, says Owen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s part of the fun of a Beatles concert like this one,\u201d he says. \u201cIf the band can give you the illusion that you might be watching the original Beatles, it lends an extra excitement to it. Yeah, so you can expect the group looking as much like the original Beatles as we can. We have some costumes and makeup to help the illusion, and I think we are doing our usual show there with three costumes. Starting with the kind of early, young, Beatles look where they wore all the matching black suits. Then we\u2019re going to do the Sgt. Pepper<\/i> costumes and do some of those songs and then I think the third costume is kind of what they looked like on their cover of the Abbey Road<\/i> album. Like, for example, John Lennon had his white suit, long hair and glasses, things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Owen invites the audience to join in and sing along at the concert.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think many people feel like they shouldn\u2019t sing along, but then there\u2019s others doing it anyways,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd from our point of view, we\u2019re happy when people sing along. It\u2019s definitely something that we would invite people to do is to really get involved and sing along. At the end of the show, people might even stand up and dance along.\u201d<\/p>\n
