Orchestra chimes in for celebrations

LONDON - Beatles music with a Chinese flavor will ring out at a concert in Liverpool on Sunday.

The Pagoda Chinese Youth Orchestra, the oldest and largest ensemble of its kind in Europe, is presenting a "Summer of Love" festival, performing a range of music popular around the world in 1967, the year the Beatles' classic album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released.

With celebrations in Liverpool to mark the 50th anniversary of the album, the award-winning orchestra will perform Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine and She's Leaving Home.
