Returning for another great show!!
Twist & Shout is a “soundalike” Beatles Tribute band. We don’t do the phony British accents or “wear hair.” Instead, we use authentic Rickenbacker, Gretsch and Hofner guitars and VOX amps, along with Ludwig drums, and focus on the tight harmonies that made the Beatles music so great. We’ll also tell you lots of insights to the Beatles and their recordings, along with great trivia, during a show. Keyboardist Bob Dobro adds all the many sounds the Beatles came up with in the studio, so we can do the entire Beatles catalog, many of which never were performed on stage.
The group was founded in 2000 and is based in Chicago, where they have performed at area clubs, concert series, and summerfests as well as venues like Navy Pier, White Sox Park, SoxFest.
The DDHS Summer Chamber Orchestra was created to give an outlet to for high school Orchestra students to keep playing in the Summer and get out in the community to perform. The group chooses a variety of music from classic to rock and from all around the world. It’s all about making music and having fun doing so.
Returning for our 4th season, Turtle Creek Chamber Orchestra continues to offer patrons our brand of eclectic classical, jazz, Broadway and show tunes.
We will feature young artists from the community, students who exhibit talent with their perspective instruments, either piano or string. Our performances run a 40 minute first half, with a 15 minute intermission, followed by a 30 minute second half.
