Best known as “the fifth Beatle,” Sir George Martin helped shape the sound of modern music. From his groundbreaking work with the Beatles to collaborations with artists like Celine Dion, Elton John, the King’s Singers, and Michael Jackson, his influence stretches across generations and genres.
In 2026, we honor the 100th anniversary of his birth and the 10th anniversary of his passing with a bold, forward-thinking tribute.
George Martin Reimagined features inventive new arrangements of songs and works connected to Martin’s legendary career, alongside original compositions inspired by his unmistakable musical vision. Expect fresh takes, rich orchestration, and the kind of studio-meets-stage creativity that defined his legacy.
Directed by Lee Abe, Alex Clements, and Kareem Clarke and produced by Berklee’s Contemporary Writing and Production Department, this performance celebrates the artistry, innovation, and fearless imagination of a true architect of sound.
Join us for an evening that honors the past while pushing the music forward.
