FROM THE STAGE

Spotlight-MartinAndersen.jpg“This music is dear to me because I grew up with it; the energy [of playing these Beatles songs on stage with a band] is really great. [It’s hard] to sit on stage and not tap our feet along with the music. It’s like Pavlov’s dog—you grow up tapping your feet to these songs.
We had performed with [Classical Mystery Tour] and conductor Martin Herman 10 years ago. [Both times], the band sang really well and looked just like The Beatles—everything was really first-rate.”
Martin Andersen, viola
