When the touring show\u00a0Beatles vs. Stones \u2013 A Musical Showdown\u00a0comes to the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall on Monday, March 23, the North Fort Myers High School String Quartet will join the professional musicians on stage to lend some local talent to this homage to the British Invasion.\u00a0The show pits Rolling Stones tribute band Satisfaction against rival Brit boys Abbey Road in an all-out musical showdown for rock dominance.<\/p>\n
The string quartet will perform six songs with the bands, \u201cEleanor Rigby,\u201d \u201cA Day in the Life,\u201d \u201cHello Goodbye,\u201d \u201cHey Jude,\u201d \u201cGimme Shelter\u201d and \u201cRuby Tuesday.\u201d The producers of Beatles vs. Stones approached North Fort Myers High School Orchestra Director Carlos Mendez, looking for a quartet that could hold its own with a rock band in front of an audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur orchestra students are thrilled to take the stage and represent North Fort Myers High School Center for Arts and Media and our School District,\u201d said Mendez. \u201cThis performance highlights their remarkable talent, celebrates the value of music education, and reflects the strong support our community provides for the arts. I feel incredibly fortunate to work with these dedicated, hard-working students, and I know they will make everyone proud!\u201d<\/p>\n
