Austin, Texas (January 20, 2010) - Austin's favorite Beatles cover band, The Eggmen, will perform with a full orchestra on Sunday, February 21, at 7 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre. "All You Need Is Love," "I Am the Walrus," and "Strawberry Fields Forever" are among the Beatle classics featured. The Eggmen have invited the McCallum Fine Arts Academy Orchestra, under the direction of Ricky Pringle. The concert will benefit The McCallum Orchestra Performance Fund, which will help the award-winning orchestra make an invitational performance at Washing D.C.’s Lincoln Center next year.
Opening the benefit concert are special guests, The Apple Trio. This all-girl trio will perform their original “chamber-pop” style music. Members Diana Burgess, Caiti Coughlan, and Olivia Erwin are McCallum Orchestra students who are rapidly gaining recognition across Austin as they perform regular public and private events. The Trio has recently released their first CD. Says Caiti Coughlan, “We are excited to front The Eggmen. We have played with them several times, including opening for them on New Year's Eve—it's always a blast.”
Tickets for the benefit concert are $22 and $32. Discount students tickets are available for $15 with student ID at the Paramount box office only. Tickets go on sale Saturday, January 30, 2010, at noon. For ticket information call 866.9PROTIX (866-977-6849) or visit AUSTINTHEATRE.ORG
