FIRST ERIE PHILHARMONIC SELL OUT OF THE SEASON WITH THE MUSIC OF THE KNIGHTS  

The stunning, newly renovated Warner Theatre stage

January 28th, 2022– On Saturday, January 29th the Erie Philharmonic presents Music of the Knights, a thrilling musical celebration of Britain’s three legendary songwriters Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney. The performance will celebrate the best hits of all three of these great composers and performers with an iconic lineup of songs including “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina”, “The Phantom of the Opera”, “Circle of Life”, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, “Yesterday”, and “Hey Jude”. 

This exciting blend of the three knights’ compositions will be celebrated Saturday night with Maestro Daniel Meyer leading the Erie Philharmonic and four acclaimed vocalists who will bring their lyrics to life on the newly renovated Warner Theatre stage. Soloists John Boswell, Scott Coulter, Kelli Rabke, and Lorinda Lisitza will be joining us from New York City, all of whom have extensive and impressive resumes. Their credits include multiple Broadway productions, an array of awards, and appearances on sitcoms like The Facts of Life. 

Adding to the excitement will be the debut of guest ‘Baton’ conductor Mike Batchelor. Once a year, a community member is selected to take the helm of the Philharmonic as a fundraiser for the orchestra’s life-changing educational outreach activities, including youth concerts, instrumental petting zoos, virtual reality experiences and more. The orchestra is proud to announce Mr. Batchelor has raised $20,000 towards these initiatives. He will lead the full orchestra in a stirring performance of the Beatles’ classic “The Long and Winding Road.”

“I am honored to help our Philharmonic celebrate their return to the renovated Warner Theatre,” said Batchelor.  “As Tammy and I review our long history in Erie, some of our fondest memories are associated with the Erie Philharmonic and the Warner.  I know that funds raised will help the Phil continue their community outreach and to build audiences that will secure their future for generations to come”.

The show is sold out and tickets are no longer available. Doors open an hour and a half prior to the performance, at 6:30 PM. All concert attendees are required to show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination or proof of a negative COVID test. Masks are required throughout the entire event.
