Beatles in Rio

 Coming to the Sunshine Coast - 5 June 2022

The two most-recorded songs ever are the Beatles "Yesterday" and Antônio Carlos (Tom) Jobim's "Girl from Ipanema". 

Discover why - when you hear your favourite songs as originally orchestrated by "The Fifth Beatle", George Martin, together with some of Brazil's best and most popular songs arranged by Antônio Carlos (Tom) Jobim. This show will be about wonderful melodies, great arrangements and the musical legacy of these remarkable musicians.

George Martin is often referred to as "The Fifth Beatle" because of his work with John, Paul, George and Ringo. His ability to combine classical music techniques (especially the use of strings) with popular (rock) music of the day transformed the Beatles music into a class of its own.  

Antônio Carlos (Tom) Jobim is undoubtedly Brazil's best-known popular music composer/arranger. He was the leading musical force behind "bossa-nova", the Brazilian sound that seduced the world in the 1960s, with songs such as "The Girl from Ipanema", "One-note samba", "Meditation" “Corcovado” and "Wave". 

Highlighting the admiration George and Tom had for each other's music, the Tropical Dance Orchestra will play classic Beatles and bossa-nova songs working from the original arrangements, with occasional improvised twists.
