Sounds Good Summer Rocks Concert: Beatles, Beatles, Beatles!
Presented by Sounds Good Choir, the nation’s second largest no-audition choir for adults 55+, Sounds Good singers will take you along for a magical musical mystery tour through seven beloved Beatles songs. From the buoyant and rousing “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and playful tongue-in-cheek humor of “When I’m Sixty-Four” to the foreshadowing sorrow of “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight,” you will find “All You Need Is Love” at this free, all-ages concert. No tickets or reservations required. Just show up, join the fun!
Our four Summer Rocks: The Beatles! concerts will be held on July 23, 26, 28 and 29. See our Concert Calendar for details on locations and times. Join us for the fun beats!
