Orchestra Kentucky to celebrate the Beatles’ during “Abbey Road at 50” on Sept. 21

BOWLING GREEN (August 19, 2019) – Orchestra Kentucky will celebrate 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ iconic “Abbey Road” with a performance of entire album at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Sept. 21. Featuring “Something,” and “Come Together,” the Beatles’ 11th studio recording was released in September 1969 and included one of the most discussed album covers of all-time.

“The Beatles have been a big part of the Retro Series since the series began,” said Orchestra Kentucky Music Director Jeff Reed. “I knew I wanted to feature their music in Orchestra Kentucky’s 20th season, and the 50th anniversary of Abbey Road afforded the perfect opportunity.  We are going to perform Abbey Road in its entirety, as close to the original recording as humanly possible, and then have a second half of the Beatles’ greatest hits.”
