The orchestra is teaming up with Art of Time Ensemble for the NSO ExxonMobil Big Ticket fundraiser, taking place Oct. 27 at the Arts and Culture Centre in St. John’s.

The concert will feature the music of The Beatles’ “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album, performed by Art of Time — with Sloan’s Chris Murphy, The Skidiggers’ Andy Maize and pianist Andrew Burashko — and the entire orchestra.

“This is going to be an amazing night of entertainment as acclaimed Canadian performers Art of Time and the NSO perform the entire Sergeant Pepper album along with a few surprises,” Hugh Donnan, CEO of the NSO, said in a news release.

“This fundraiser is a very important one for the NSO and it will be a full evening of festivities. After the concert we will hold a reception in the concourse of the theatre, with food and beverages, all included as part of your ticket.”

The NSO ExxonMobil Big Ticket fundraising concert is expected to become an annual event, taking the place of the NSO Gala and NSO Silver Ball.
