November 26, 2019 – Malibu, CA – A handpicked collection of world-class musicians from the orchestra group Classic Albums Live will perform the Beatles’ Abbey Road album in its entirety at Pepperdine University as the first show of the spring.

Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, the Classic Albums Live concert series takes the greatest albums ever recorded and recreates them live on stage—note for note, cut for cut—using the best musicians and without gimmickry and cheesy impersonations. “Think of it as a recital,” Martin says, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don't dress up. We just stand there and play. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album,” Martin says.

With over 100 shows a year across North America, Classic Albums Live has drawn thousands of music lovers and seen massive success in performing arts centers and theatres.

More than 40 years after the Beatles recorded their final studio album, Abbey Road, a handpicked collection of world-class musicians from Classic Albums Live has come together to perform the masterpiece in its entirety in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Attendees will experience a cover-to-cover performance of many of the most-recognized Beatles songs, including “Something,” “Come Together,” and “Here Comes the Sun” from this iconic album.
