Art of Time Ensemble performs SGT Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
July 23 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
A DRAMATIC REIMAGINING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM FEATURING A 12-PIECE ORCHESTRA AND VOCALS FROM 4 CANADIAN POP ICONS
The 1967 release of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band set the soundtrack for the “summer of love” with an alter-ego ensemble employing innovative musical production, uncommon instrumentation, and a fantastic orchestral lineup for a progressive and ultimately timeless album featuring such favorites as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, When I’m Sixty-Four, With a Little Help from My Friends, and A Day in the Life.
Toronto’s Art of Time Ensemble, a chamber music collective comprised of the best artists on the Canadian scene and led by concert pianist Andrew Burashko, has transformed the way audiences experience music. Fusing “high art” and popular culture in concerts that juxtapose the best of each, Art of Time entertains as it enlightens, revealing the universal qualities that lie at the heart of all great music. Art of Time’s take on the Fab Four features thoughtfully reimagined arrangements and tight vocal harmonies presented by an indie dream quartet (exciting announcement coming soon!) —resulting in a powerful celebration of what Rolling Stone dubbed “the most important rock and roll album ever made.”
