Seattle Rock Orchestra Performs The Beatles: Number 1's
$35-$52
Seattle Rock Orchestra returns to the Moore Theatre stage as they continue their annual Mother's Day weekend tradition of exploring The Beatles' vast creative output. Taking inspiration from the popular Beatles compilation album 1, this year SRO celebrates the band's broad swath of No. 1 hit singles that reigned on both the UK and US charts, along with those song's charming B-side companions (many of which are hits in their own right).
Two performances:
- Saturday, May 11 at 7:30pm (doors at 6:30pm)
- Sunday, May 12 at 2pm (doors at 1pm)
About Seattle Rock Orchestra
Seattle Rock Orchestra doesn't hide behind a rock band ... it is the rock band! SRO utilizes strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and a rotating cast of exciting guest vocalists to deliver high energy tribute shows unlike any other. SRO was founded in 2008 by bassist, composer, and educator Scott Teske. Music Director and Conductor extraordinaire Kim Roy quickly came aboard in 2010 to tame our unruly gang of musical misfits with her unique panache. In 2012, SRO began its expansion into a full-fledged arts organization with the introduction of the Seattle Rock Orchestra Summer Intensive, a week long summer day camp for middle & high school musicians, which now hosts two sessions at Seattle's Moore Theatre and at Kirkland Performance Center.
Over the years SRO has racked up an impressive resume that includes collaborations with the likes of Elvis Costello, Macklemore, DeVotchKa, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Damien Jurado, DRAM, Allen Stone, and members of Big Star, The Posies, R.E.M., Nada Surf, and Pearl Jam, on stages across Washington State, including Seattle's Paramount, Moore & Neptune Theatres, Sasquatch Music Festival, Summer Meltdown Festival, and Timber Outdoor Music Festival.
