Our Fourth Annual Beatles Night - October 22, 2011
Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 12:18PM
2009Beatles Night has taken place at the home of Michael Rachap (as of 2010, the home of Michael Rachap and Casey McCann) since 2008. Part party, part concert, it is a celebration not just of the Beatles music but of the students who play it. You'll see parents and kids playing together, teachers and students playing together, and musicians who have never met each other collaborating in the moment.
The party starts at 7 PM in Ansley Park. Audience members are welcome, as are musicians. There is no set program and no set end time. Wanna come? Although we can't accommodate every Beatles fan in Atlanta, we can probably accommodate you. Send your request to us via email and we'll give you the details.
If you can't make it this time, let's try for next October! You may want to subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to find out about the next one.
