LOUISVILLE, Ky. - April 19, 2019 - EntSun -- When the touring show Beatles vs. Stones – A Musical Showdown returns to the Brown Theatre on Wednesday, May 8, the Louisville Ballard High School String Quartet will have the privilege of joining the professional musicians on stage to add some orchestral texture to the evening.
The show pits Rolling Stones tribute band Satisfaction against rival Brit boys Abbey Road in an all-out musical showdown for rock dominance. The string quartet will perform seven songs with the bands.
Here's the rundown:
The show: The two greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time face off in Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Showdown. Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the nation's top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles' career. They engage in a "showdown" of the hits with Stones tribute band Satisfaction - The International Rolling Stones Show, who offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion. The production includes multimedia, period costumes and vintage instruments. It has toured for years, with a critic for the Los Angeles Times at one point declaring: "this is the most unique tribute show in decades." The Louisville show is part of a 110 city tour of the U.S., Canada and Australia.
The string quartet: Ballard High seniors Rambod Gilani, Abel Al-Hussainawi and Tyler Voyer and junior Christian Kephart will join the bands for the songs "Eleanor Rigby," "Yesterday," "A Day in the Life," "Hello Goodbye," "Hey Jude," "As Tears Go By," and "Ruby Tuesday."
Each quartet member serves as first chair with the BHS Chamber Orchestra and quartet members belong to prestigious area ensembles, including the Louisville Youth Orchestra, the University of Louisville String Academy, the Kentucky Music Educators Association All-State and the Jefferson County Public School All-County Orchestras. Members also consistently receive Distinguished ratings at KMEA Solo and Ensemble Festivals.
