Beatles Go Big Band

Throughout the year, The State Theatre partners with many nonprofits to raise money and awareness for others. Over the last few years, The State Theatre has had a signature show to raise funds for the theater itself, which is also a nonprofit. Past signature shows have been to celebrate Sinatra’s 100th birthday, The State Theatre’s 10th anniversary gala and last year’s “At Last with Ella and Etta.” This year, Rick Hirsch and Zeropoint Big Band will present “Beatles Go Big Band”.

Rick Hirsch is working with all the vocalists to write custom arrangements around their voices to fit with the orchestra. Some pieces will be relatively straightforward and rocking, and others will draw more on soul or jazz. “The Beatles” have a rich catalog, providing fertile ground for reinterpretation with each vocalist bringing a different flavor. It is NOT going to be just a Beatles cover show!

Zeropoint Big Band is the house orchestra, to be joined by guest vocalists:

Ted McCloskey

Eric Ian Farmer

Noah Figlin
