Abbey Road

September 26-28, 2019

harbourfront centre theatre, Toronto

“This was a reprise of our our Abbey Road project from 2009 - the first time I dared to tamper with the Beatles’ music. I chose to start with this iconic album because of the rich and ambitious arrangements of the originals and the fact that they were never performed live. As with our other popular music projects, I wanted to find that fine line between retaining the authenticity of the original songs while pushing as many boundaries as possible in the reinvention of the arrangements. Ten different composers worked as arrangers on this project. Each bringing their own musical sensibilities and vocabularies to the task. The original vocal harmonies which were not part of the first production in 2009 were added in 2015.” Andrew Burashko
