ISO Uncharted Series- And I Love Her: The Beatles Reimagined


The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Uncharted Series Presents:
And I Love Her: The Beatles Reimagined
, April 17th at Hilbert Circle Theater


A musical tribute to the Beatles, the women that influenced them, and the kaleidoscopic female characters they created – from ‘Michelle’ and ‘Eleanor Rigby’ to ‘Blackbird’ and ‘Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds’. Each song is witnessed through Steve Hackman’s unique and imaginative musical lens, elevating the masterful craftsmanship and explosive creativity of the original. The eight soloists who travel with the production- four vocalists, drummer, bassist, pianist, and electric guitarist- bring a staggering level of musicianship and talent, and together represent a vivid and wide-ranging blend of styles and techniques. Simply put, the production is a tour de force and the ultimate realization of Hackman’s ingenuity and the gifts of his manifold collaborators and soloists.

A local father’s love of his son and his music

When Ed Schwartzman’s son Ben passed away 15 years ago, it was devastating, but sadly not surprising given his history of mental illness. Since then, Ed has been on a quest to bring attention to the great music Ben left behind.

Around a year ago, the album “Falling Star: The Songs of Ben Schwartzman” was uploaded to Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube. Ed and I talked earlier this week about the music and the journey he’s been on to raise awareness of teen suicide and mental illness.

This story deals with suicide. If you, or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
