Featured will be a special suite of music from The Beatles, which includes hits such as "All My Loving," "All You Need is Love," "Blackbird," "Can't Buy Me Love," "Come Together," "If I Fell," "Lady Madonna," "Let It Be," "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da," "Something," "Yesterday," and much more.

Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron Collins is a past recipient of the Richard A. Stark Award for cultural leadership, awarded by the Cultural Council of Indian River County.

"I predict people will not be able to restrain themselves," said Collins with a laugh. "Because this music makes you want to burst with song. What better way to kick off our season than with Broadway and the incomparable Beatles?"
