The Starlight Symphony Orchestra performed music from The Beatles Abbey Road Album at its special fundraiser concert on Saturday Sept. 28, at the Wimberley Valley Winery. The concert was a continuation on the theme of last year’s fundraiser, in which the symphony performed Beatle’s music from the White Album.

“Who doesn’t love the Beatles! Last year’s event, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The White Album was such as success that when the idea of an Abbey Road 50th came up for discussion, the Board all said Hell Ya!” Suzanne Warmack, symphony board member and event advertising coordinator, said. 

“We don’t have our final figured yet from the wine and food sales, but we handily surpassed last year’s total in ticket sales,” Warmack said. “There were many familiar faces in the audience! Now I have to top this event! So stay tuned!” Warmack plays violin in the orchestra, and has been a member of Starlight since 2006. She also works for the Century News and owns Bel Canto Farms, which teaches horsemanship.

The Starlight Symphony Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It is an all-volunteer symphony, with musicians of “wildly varying ages,” all of which reside in Central Texas. For more information visit: starlightsymphony.org.
