Born in Canada and classically trained from the age of eight, Zoë spent her 20′s dabbling in computer software while moonlighting as a cellist in rock bands. Inevitably, she combined the two and developed her now signature style while improvising for late night crowds at her San Francisco warehouse.

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
1037 SW Broadway

The Pops season continues at the Oregon Symphony. Joining conductor Jeff Tyzik and the Oregon Symphony on stage will be the ensemble known as Classical Mystery Tour, a modern Fab Four of John, Paul, George and Ringo look-alikes who’ve performed Beatles tribute concerts around the world.

As always, Tyzik’s engaging Pops concert programs aim to offer a smart and engaging in-depth look at a specific theme. This time it’s a survey of some of the greatest hits from the Beatles, pioneers of the British Invasion and the group whose sound came to epitomize the 1960s.

Though they stopped performing more than 40 years ago, it’s nearly impossible to overestimate the influence of the Beatles. They still rank among the most highly regarded and most commercially successful performers in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. And their music still serves as the soundtrack for the Baby Boom generation.
