Artistic Director and Conductor Jung-Ho Pak’s final bow
Bay Philharmonic delivers season finale: Epic Beatles music, Live orchestra
Fremont, CA – What would The Beatles have sounded like if they had the chance to perform live in concert with a symphony orchestra? Hear the tunes you know and love, performed as they were originally recorded, and as you’ve heard them before—until now.
Sunday, June 22 @ 3 PM, Bay Philharmonic brings this musical dream to life at Chabot College Performing Arts Center in The Beatles Reimagined — a stunning 24/25 season finale and the final performance of Artistic Director, Conductor, and Super Beatles’ fan Jung-Ho Pak.
With drop-the-mic moments, the show features the internationally acclaimed Classical Mystery Tour, known for their spot-on renditions of the Beatles’ hits, from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Penny Lane to Yesterday and Here Comes the Sun. With every note matched to original recordings, it delivers beloved songs in an orchestral soundscape.
“The emotional and nostalgic connection is powerful,” says Classical Mystery Tour’s founder Jim Owen, who portrays John Lennon. “We use the exact orchestra score, right down to every note and instrument that was on the original recording. Two tenor saxes and three trumpets on Got to Get You Into My Life, just like the original.”
This is a celebration of the creative lyrical genius that inspired the Beatles themselves: American soul, classical brilliance, early rock ‘n roll, and everything in between. “We have some real show-stopping numbers,” says Owen, “and the power this music has with audiences is hard to put into words.”
Jung-Ho’s final bow caps eight extraordinary seasons leading Bay Phil with vision, innovation, and heart. We will build on his legacy of community connection and creative programming through a dynamic 25/26 season of Guest Conductors, launching with a Gala on September 20, and continuing through a holiday performance in December, a potential Chamber Event in March, and a Classical Program in June 2026.
The Beatles Reimagined Tickets are going fast: Available @ Bay Phil’s website, ranging from $25 to $89.
