Spring Concerts — The Beatles

Please note: due to extraordinary interest in John Alston’s final concerts before his retirement, we’ve added a third show. We ask guests to attend one performance, so more people can share in this special moment.

Overflow seating will be available next door in the Lang Performing Arts Center (LPAC), where guests can watch the performance livestream.

Join our 110 Chester children for their spring concerts featuring classical and choral works, followed by The Beatles' greatest hits, including "Hey Jude," "Help!," Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," "Let It Be," and more.

These will be the final performances of CCC Founder, Executive & Artistic Director John Alston, before his retirement in August 2026.

"Who doesn't want to finish a musical career with The Beatles? They gave us some of the world's most compelling melodies," said Alston. "I can barely contain myself when our children sing the 'Hey Jude' hook."

Guests are invited to post-concert receptions in the Lang Performing Arts Center (LPAC), which is adjacent to the Lang Concert Hall.
