Described as “Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival” and “the best Irish group so far in Bluegrass\,” this sharply dressed outfit delivers energy-fueled\, electric performances. \nAll multi-instrumentalists\, JigJam interchanges between banjos\, guitars\, fiddles\, mandolins and double bass onstage\, creating an experience pleasing to both the eye and the ear. \n\nJamie McKeogh\, lead singer and guitar\nDaithi Melia\, five-string banjo and dobro\nGavin Strappe\, mandolin and tenor banjo\nKevin Buckley\, fiddle\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE BAND” tab_id=”1740774444669-0802cfed-7597″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nWhen virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond\, running naked through the wide open fields of bluegrass/Americana\, JigJam is born. Bluegrass and American Folk music originated from the group’s home\, and now JigJam is here to take it back!  \nJigJam made its Grand Ole Opry Debut in Nashville in March 2023 to critical acclaim\, receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on the biggest stage in country music. The group was joined that night by Garth Brooks\, Trisha Yearwood\, Steve Earle\, Lauren Alaina and many more. This Offaly and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana.  \n‘Foot stomping’\, ‘high energy’ bad-assery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert.   \nFounding members Offaly Jamie McKeogh (Lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (5 String Banjo and Dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (Mandolin and Tenor Banjo) in 2016. This year\, they are joined by Kevin Buckley (Fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish Bluegrass) quartet.  \nDescribed as “The best Irish band in bluegrass” and “sparkling\, infectious\,” these lads have been hailed as “Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival.” Bluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son.  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1740774474708-c5a85c3a-4a06″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]JAMIE McKEOGH was born and raised in Durrow near Tullamore\, Co. Offaly. From a very young age\, he had a keen interest in music\, having been strongly influenced by his mother\, a music teacher. He began taking tuition on guitar and fiddle at five years of age and progressed to playing the banjo and mandolin. A winner of four All Ireland Titles at Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann\, Jamie has also been a member of the Comhaltas tour of Ireland and the UK. Graduating with a B.Sc. in Physiotherapy from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland\, Jamie has now chosen to pursue a career in music. Along with being a member of JigJam\, he has toured worldwide with various groups such as Celtic Legends. Jamie is well known for his rhythmic guitar playing\, vocal versatility and accomplished banjo solos. His influences include John Doyle\, Chris Thile and Gerry O’Connor. \n  \nDAITHI MELIA hails from Co. Offaly. He is a multi-instrumentalist who studied Contemporary Music Performance at the Ballyfermot College of Further Education. During this time he explored various styles and genres of music and honed his skill on the guitar and the 5-string banjo. He performed with many bands of various genres in popular venues throughout Ireland and has since toured around the world with several acts. Daithi is also a seasoned session musician\, featured on various artists’ records and has been highly involved in the arrangement and writing process of other singer-songwriter projects. He has created his own unique style of 5-string banjo playing\, forging the different stylistic approaches of traditional Irish and Bluegrass music together while also still adding his own contemporary influences along with jazz and blues. \n  \nGAVIN STRAPPE was born in South Tipperary and began playing the Tenor Banjo at the age of ten. It was at this stage that Gavin developed a huge passion for Irish music and also began to play Mandolin and Tenor Guitar. This resulted in Gavin enjoying much success at Fleadh Cheol competitions\, winning numerous competitions at county\, provincial and All-Ireland levels. At the age of eighteen\, he became Senior All-Ireland champion on both Mandolin and Tenor Guitar. In 2009\, he commenced a Bachelor of Music degree at DIT National Conservatoire of Music and Drama\, graduating in 2013 with First-Class Honours in Music Performance. In 2014\, he completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Limerick and graduated with an honours degree in Music Education. Gavin has toured extensively around the world with numerous bands and ensembles\, including shows such as Brú Ború and Celtic Legends as well as headlining numerous North American festivals with JigJam. \n  \nSt. Louis native KEVIN BUCKLEY is a product of the city’s thriving Irish-American community. Raised playing Irish Traditional fiddle music alongside his father Jack on the uilleann pipes\, Buckley toured and competed nationally and internationally with St. Louis Irish Arts CCE\, earning a few titles along the way.  In addition to a years-long residency at John D. Mcurk’s (where he first met JigJam)\, Buckley has branched out into songwriting/composing (Grace Basement)\, studio engineering\, music instruction and session work in a variety of styles on all things strings.  He made his debut fiddle/folk record in 2022 entitled Big Spring.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe3446-7577″]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439120115{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

That performance marked the beginning of 64 years of unrivaled creativity\, and in the decades that followed\, Mr. Taylor became a cultural icon and one of American history’s most celebrated artists\, and was part of the pantheon that created American modern dance. Leading the Company that bears his name until his death in 2018\, Mr. Taylor molded it into one of the preeminent performing ensembles in the world. Under the artistic direction of Taylor alumnus Michael Novak\, the Company continues to bring “America’s most communicative and wildly theatrical modern dance” to audiences and students around the world\, with a yearly residency at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. \nThe Company currently resides in the Lower East Side of Manhattan but sustains a global presence through its robust touring programs. Since its first European tour in 1960\, the Company has performed in more than 600 cities in 66 countries\, representing the United States at arts festivals in more than 40 countries and touring extensively under the aegis of the U.S. Department of State. Dedicated to sharing modern dance with the broadest possible audience\, the Company tours annually\, both domestically and internationally\, with performances and a variety of educational programs and engagement offerings. Recent tours have brought the Company to Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, China\, Ecuador\, Germany\, Italy\, Oman\, Peru\, Switzerland\, Taiwan\, and Turkey\, as well as scores of cities within the United States.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbebe67-ce35″]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439235469{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

SUMMARY:Mnozil Brass

Hailed as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles\, this group blends classical\, jazz\, folk and pop with sketch comedy\, silly songs and side-splitting buffoonery on their trumpets\, trombones\, French horn and tuba. Mnozil Brass takes its name from Gasthaus Mnozil\, a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory\, where seven young music students met and began playing at a monthly open mic in 1992. 30 years later\, Mnozil Brass performs for sold-out houses around the world. Jubilee\, its 2023 album on Universal\, cheekily pays tribute and celebrates Mnozil Brass’s greatest hits and new works. \n\nThomas Gansch\, trumpet \nRobert Rother\, trumpet \nRoman Rindberger\, trumpet \nLeonhard Paul\, trombone & bass trumpet \nGerhard Füßl\, trombone \nZoltan Kiss\, trombone \nWilfried Brandstötter\, tuba \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE BAND” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed118-f939″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]MNOZIL BRASS has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. With over 130 performances a year\, the group has sold out houses from the farthest reaches of the European continent to Israel\, China\, Taiwan\, Japan\, Australia\, Canada\, and the United States\, and has captivated audiences with their blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit. No wonder their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans have travelled countless miles to hear them play.  \nThe group’s recent returns to North America were hailed as “seriously funny” and “whimsically brazen.” Their shows include Yes! Yes! Yes!\, which blends original compositions with classical favorites\, jazz standards\, and popular hits; Cirque\, where the musicians combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor\, and transform the stage into a musical flea circus; Gold\, showcasing their greatest hits; and their latest Jubliee\, which celebrates their 30 years together with new works and Mnozil Brass favorites. A recording of Jubilee will be released in 2023 on Universal. As always\, the repertoire is presented with the group’s iconic humour and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python.   \nMnozil Brass take their name from the “Gasthaus Mnozil\,” a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory\, where\, in 1992\, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open-mic. Since then\, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop; all executed with the same fearlessness\, immense technical skill\, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (almost impossible to find an English translation\, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!).   \nIn their time away from touring\, Mnozil Brass has recorded 8 albums and 6 DVDs. They’ve collaborated on three operetta and opera productions\, and composed and recorded the music for the 2006 film “Freundschaft.” The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1739907811886-2adcbbcb-ff6b”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Thomas Gansch | Born in Melk an der Donau\, Thomas is one of the band’s founding members. By the time he turned the tender age of 17\, he was already playing at the Vienna State Opera. However\, his love of jazz was stronger\, and led him to become one of the most versatile trumpeters in Austria\, one who can play jazz\, classical\, crossover and everything in between. He is a whirlwind on stage and can tell a good joke or two\, as well. When he has time off\, he composes for Mnozil Brass.  \n  \n  \n  \nRobert Rother | Like Thomas\, Robert also hails from Melk an der Donau. As children\, the two of them played in a brass band conducted by Thomas’s very strict father. Polkas\, waltzes\, and marches were always on the program – a good learning experience\, it seems! Now\, Robert can engender a tone with so much longing and feeling that it is guaranteed to bring anyone to tears. Unlike Thomas\, Robert hardly moves on stage at all and lets the music speak for itself.  \n  \n  \n  \nRoman Rindberger | Roman was born into a musical family and played folk music as a youngster with his father and two brothers. His father Hans\, in turn\, would meet up with Gerhard Füßl’s father Franz because the families lived nearby. Roman loves technical passages and renders them with the precision of a Swiss clockmaker. And he even knows how the instruments work! If anyone wants to know more about brass music\, Roman is the man for you. On stage\, his character is the Latin Lover. \n  \n  \n  \nLeonhard Paul | Leonhard was born in Mödling near Vienna and is the first musician his family has ever produced. (Though there was a grandfather who earned his money as a painter and whose pictures hang in every other house in the better parts of Vienna!) Recently\, the other members of the band have started to get a little concerned about him because he seems to have taken a liking to shady characters on stage. Everyone wants to play the hero\, but Leonhard likes roles that show the darker side of man. No one knows exactly what’s going on in his head!  \n  \n  \n  \nGerhard Füßl | Gerhard grew up near where Roman lived\, and also had a father who taught him a lot about brass music. He is the most well-liked in the group. Probably because he looks after the financial matters. Everyone tries to keep on his good side\, and no one wants to incur his wrath. For his part\, he is usually friendly to all.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nZoltan Kiss | Austrian folk music was certainly not part of Zoltan’s upbringing. He was born in Budapest\, spent some time in Poland\, and finally settled in Vienna\, where he plays trombone in four languages. One of the group’s favorite games is to put some really difficult music in front of him and see if he can play it. He usually can! His technical skills take your breath away. Bets have been placed as to when and how something will be written that he can not master\, but\, so far\, high\, low\, slow\, fast\, he can play it all!  \n  \n  \n  \nWilfried Brandstötter | He started his stellar career playing the recorder\, subsequently joining the boys’ choir. After that\, it was the violin\, followed by the trumpet\, before finally feeling comfortable and at ease with the tuba. So\, speed is not quite his business. To him\, life is a slow and wide river. His ambition consists of making all concert halls\, including the audience seated herein\, feel the pleasant vibrations he’s producing with the help of low tones from his tuba.

Taking her instrument far beyond its Appalachian roots\, Alison blends Bluegrass and jazz influences into a sonic tapestry that has earned her widespread praise and recognition. Her masterful skill and creativity have earned her acclaim from national tastemakers including The Wall Street Journal\, CBS Sunday Morning\, NPR and USA Today. \nRecognized with honors including the UCA Fellowship in Music and the Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association\, Brown was inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame in 2019.

But she missed the bluegrass music she’d grown up playing in Southern California so much that when Alison Krauss called looking for a banjo player\, she made the decision to give up her Wall Street career to pursue music.  She toured with Alison Krauss and Union Station\, and Michelle Shocked before forming her own group\, The Alison Brown Quartet\, in 1993. \nSince that time\, Alison and her band have been winning over traditionalists and mainstream music fans alike with her unique style.  They have toured extensively throughout the US and abroad with stops at some of music’s most prestigious venues including The Kennedy Center\, Newport Folk Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, MerleFest\, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, FreshGrass\, The Cambridge Folk Festival (England)\, Celtic Connections (Scotland)\, Dublin National Concert Hall (Ireland)\, Galway Arts Festival (Ireland) and Verbier Music Festival (Switzerland).  The band has also traveled to Central and South America at the invitation of the US Information Agency and to Japan as Friendship Ambassadors on behalf of the Nashville Mayor’s office to celebrate a new sister city relationship between Kamakura\, Japan and Music City. \nAlison has recorded 12 critically-acclaimed solo albums\, received a GRAMMY and multiple GRAMMY- nominations. She has also received the USA Artists Fellowship in Music and a Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Alison has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning\, NPR’s All Things Considered and in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times among many other publications. \nAlison is also the co-founder of the internationally recognized roots music label Compass Records Group which Billboard Magazine has called “one of the greatest independent labels of the last decade.” Compass Records Group oversees a catalog of nearly 1\,000 releases across multiple label imprints\, including Red House Records\, Green Linnet and Mulligan Records. Alison currently serves on the Board of the Nashville Chapter of the Recording Academy\, on the adjunct faculty of Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music and as co-chair of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe66e6-b11e”]FacebookInstagramTwitter[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439364768{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

YAMATO takes audiences on a whirlwind tour of rhythm and culture with more than 40 Taiko drums standing tall on stage\, each with its own character\, size and sound. The mighty “Odaiko\,” carved from a 400-year-old tree\, weighs 500 kg and sets the stage for an awe-inspiring experience. But it’s not just about power; YAMATO also creates delicate music\, crafting a palette of meticulously curated sound and earning them the title of “physical music.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTIST” tab_id=”1739894225172-23fb5c29-a392″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]YAMATO is a Japanese Taiko drumming group based in Asuka-mura\, Nara Prefecture — widely recognized in Japan as the nation’s hometown. They proudly refer to themselves as “YAMATO\, the Taiko drumming group that travels all over the world.” Since their formation in 1993\, they have performed over 4\,500 shows across 54 countries\, sharing the powerful sound of Taiko with audiences worldwide. \nSpending half a year touring in Japan and the other half touring the world\, YAMATO’s motto is “We go everywhere when somebody needs YAMATO to bring energy to the people living in the world!” The group hosts workshops and Taiko lessons along with performing for events\, schools\, and theaters around the world.  \nOn stage\, more than 40 Taiko drums stand tall\, each with its own unique character. The largest drum\, called “Odaiko\,” was produced from a tree over 400 years old\, and weighs over 1000 pounds. Each drum is a different size and produces its own individual sound. The members of YAMATO have trained their bodies to the limit to beat these massive drums.  \nTheir drums don’t only explode with sound; YAMATO produces delicate music that can be intense\, sad\, comforting\, and even comical on stage. The audience becomes more than bystanders during a show\, for when people gather around the sound of the Taiko\, their lives interweave and they “feel the power of each other’s inner passion and heart.” \n“Taiko drumming\, to the unexplored field.”   \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”WHAT IS TAIKO?” tab_id=”1739893947346-3f887654-0448″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\nTaiko is a musical instrument deeply familiar to every Japanese person. Since ancient times\, its rich reverberations have inspired and encouraged people in a wide range of settings. Today\, the unmistakable sound of Taiko can still be heard throughout Japan. For many\, its deep\, resonant beat is comforting—an enduring symbol of Japan itself—echoing through Shinto rituals and festivals across the nation. \nTaiko’s powerful sound has also found a place in modern musical compositions and performing arts. Thanks to the dedication of skilled individual performers and troupes\, who are captivated by the drum’s distinctive boom\, Taiko is gaining new fans around the world. This iconic instrument is a profound representation of Japanese cultural identity. \nWe\, the members of Yamato\, believe in the unique value of Taiko. We are committed to preserving its traditions while exploring new possibilities for this majestic instrument. Our mission is to create even more opportunities for the sound of Taiko to resonate across the globe. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe582c-ecea”]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439407428{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

Cash is also an author whose four books include the best-selling memoir Composed\, which the Chicago Tribune called “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.” Her essays have appeared in The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, Oxford American\, The Nation\, and many more print and online publications. Her most recent book\, Bird on a Blade (2018)\, was published by the University Of Texas Press\, combining images by acclaimed artist Dan Rizzie with Cash’s lyrics. In addition to regular touring\, Cash has partnered in programming collaborations with Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, SFJAZZ\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, and the  Library of Congress. She served as artist-in-residence at New York University and in 2018 and 2023 she was a resident artistic director at SFJAZZ.  Along with many other honors and awards\, Cash received the 2021 Edward MacDowell Medal\, awarded since 1960 to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture. She is the first woman composer to receive this prestigious honor. Last month she was elected as an Honorary American member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.  \n“I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree and the Sword of Time hangs over me\, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect\, to find community\, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks\, it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.” \nLate last year\, Rosanne and her husband\, guitarist John Leventhal (6 Grammys)\, also her songwriting\, producing and performing partner\, launched a new record label\, RumbleStrip Records to reexamine and rerelease Rosanne’s early period recordings originally on Columbia/Sony Music.

And the many crossings-out\, careful corrections and fragments of quartet movements from this period of Mozart’s life bear this out. Nowhere else did he labor so painstakingly over his music. “Please\, then\, receive them kindly and be to them as a father\, a guide\, a friend\,” Mozart (a generation younger than Haydn) continues. “I entreat you to be indulgent to those faults that may have escaped a father’s partial eye\, and\, in spite of them\, to continue your generous friendship towards one who so highly appreciates it.” \nThe magnificent and disturbing C major Quartet is the crowning point of Mozart’s six ‘Haydn’ quartets. The work is true evidence of Mozart’s triumph in emulating Haydn in his Op. 33 collection of quartets from 1782\, and achieving a balance of structure\, musical style and emotion. Mozart began work on the six quartets not long after moving from Salzburg to Vienna. It was then that he began to hear music by Bach and Handel on a regular basis at weekly gatherings in the Vienna home of Baron van Swieten. The power of contrapuntal writing began to have a deep and increasing effect on Mozart’s own part-writing at the time. The effect is at its most acute in the unsettling dissonances of the opening 22 measures of the C major Quartet. They give the work a nickname (‘Dissonance’) and arise from a synthesis of free counterpoint and chromatic\, ‘highly spiced’ harmonies\, to use a term that was often thrown at the mature Mozart. The dissonances are calculated to shock – so much so that people at first accused Mozart of releasing the printed music without having carefully proofed the parts! Even half a century later\, Belgian music theorist François-Joseph Fétis proposed a ‘fix’ to Mozart’s strident harmonies by moving the first violin entry one beat earlier. Many applauded the idea; few went along with it. Today were the opening to be played with this crass insensitivity to Mozart’s boldness\, it’s certain that the stone statue of the Don Giovanni Commendatore would appear on stage to sort things out. The suspense and tension created by the dissonance is released in the ensuing Allegro. The profound\, aching Andante cantabile is one of the most sublime movements Mozart wrote. Throughout the chromatic minuet and serene finale\, the musical invention and disciplined working-out of short motifs are exemplary. \n–Note by Keith Horner \n  \nBILLY CHILDS (b. 1957)\nString Quartet No. 3 “Unrequited” \nUnrequited\, String Quartet #3\, was conceived as a commentary on the story of Intimate Letters: String Quartet #2\, by Leos Janácek. The first thing – the only thing\, really – that popped into my mind was the tragedy of unrequited love (hence the name\, Unrequited). When I first heard Janacek’s Intimate Letters performed live\, the emotion of the piece jumped out at me: the wild shifts of tempo\, the beautiful and plaintive melodies\, the stark dynamic contrasts. I wanted to illustrate my perspective on this strange relationship between Janácek and Kamila Stösslová\, by telling the story of a man who goes through different phases of emotion\, before finally coming to terms with the fact that his love for her is one-sided – it will never be returned the way he would like. I sought to compose Unrequited so that it moves\, like the five stages of grief\, through a variety emotions – from romantic\, pure love\, through paranoid\, obsessive\, neurotic possessiveness\, arriving finally at despondent acceptance. \nThis piece was commissioned by Madelyn\, Jerald\, and Lee Jackrel and is dedicated to and premiered by the Lyris Quartet. \n—Note by Billy Childs \n  \nLUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN\nBorn in Bonn\, Germany\, baptized December 17\, 1770; died in Vienna\, Austria\, March 26\, 1827\nString Quartet in E-flat major\, Op. 127 \nLudwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a decade into what critics call his late period when he composed his String Quartet No. 12 in E-flat Major\, Op. 127 (1825). It had been 15 years since he wrote his Quartet No. 11\, a work he deemed so radical that he didn’t want it performed. Money from a commission convinced him to revisit the genre\, setting off a late-life sequence of quartets even more iconoclastic. This quartet is perhaps the most lyrical of the set and\, coming off the composition of his great celebration of joy in the 9th Symphony\, the most exuberant. \nThe beginning maestoso chorale appears simple\, but it is incredibly ambitious\, offering the listener the most basic form of four-part writing that every student learns\, as if to say\, this quartet will contain everything. It is also an affirmation\, as is what follows. Beethoven\, though often considered the Classical to Romantic bridge\, wanted to reclaim his classically inclined aesthetic in this period. An oversimplified tenet for the Romantics is that content dictates form. For Beethoven\, form was a primary driver in the creation of his best writing. Commentary often focuses on the radicalism of the late quartets\, and of course they are radical\, but the paradox is that their originality emerges from Beethoven’s impulse toward conservatism\, a retreat from certain contemporary trends to expand and loosen formal constraints. In this quartet\, the retreat is toward Bach\, Handel\, and the baroque\, with an emphasis on contrapuntal writing and heightened clarity of form. \nThe quartet promptly gets on with the business of restless counterpoint. In the context of the maestoso\, each new theme sounds as if it has been gathered from a disassembled chorale and scattered across the Haydn-esque sonata allegro form. Typical of Beethoven’s late quartets\, shifts are abrupt and transitions are unceremonious\, creating moments of comprehensive disintegration and unease in preparation for resolution. \nThe second movement is a theme and variations\, a form Beethoven was somewhat obsessed with in his late period. The six variations\, unlike some of Beethoven’s related works from this period\, do not reach for higher and higher levels of virtuosity\, but simply and steadily unearth the inherent depth of one of the most beautiful melodies the composer ever wrote. \nThe buzzing scherzo contains the most intricate contrapuntal writing of the piece. It is a masterclass in anticipation and deception – just when a phrase feels that it is settling in\, it will stop abruptly\, or a unison shout will compel it to a new section. \nThe final movement does not reconvene themes from the previous movements as is often the case\, but introduces two fresh themes\, a flowing melody whose shape is reminiscent of the first theme of the piece\, and a joyous march that propels with its decisive articulation and wide open harmonic accompaniment. The great pleasure of this movement is its ending\, a contrasting coda in a shifted key and meter announced suddenly by a violin trill\, the same technique that brought the quartet out of the maestoso at the start. It is Beethoven’s classicism shining through: clarity and unity\, from beginning to end. \n—Note by Connor Buckley[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe13da-250f”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] \nWinners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant\, and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022\, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit\, rediscover\, and reinvigorate the repertory.  The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were brand new\, and the new as if it were firmly established.’  \nThe members of the quartet are violinists ADRIAN STEELE and PHOENIX AVALON\, violist DEVIN MOORE\, and cellist JOSHUA MCCLENDON. The four began as an ensemble at the Juilliard School\, and following a break during the global pandemic reconvened at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in the summer of 2021 under the tutelage of Joel Krosnick.  In addition to Mr. Krosnick\, the ISQ has coached with Joseph Lin\, Astrid Schween\, Laurie Smukler\, Joseph Kalichstein\, Roger Tapping\, Misha Amory\, Timothy Eddy\, Donald Weilerstein\, Atar Arad\, Robert McDonald\, Christoph Richter\, Miriam Fried\, and Paul Biss.  \n Their Banff triumph brings extensive tours of North America and Europe\, a two-year appointment as the Peak Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence at Southern Methodist University in Dallas beginning in 2023-24\, plus a two-week residency at Banff Centre including a professionally produced recording\, along with extensive ongoing coaching\, career guidance\, and mentorship.  \nThe Isidore Quartet has appeared on major series in Chicago\, Pittsburgh\, Seattle\, Durham\, Washington (JFK Center)\, San Antonio\, Toronto\, Montreal\, and Ottawa\, and has collaborated with a number of eminent performers including James Ehnes\, Jeremy Denk\, Shai Wosner\, and Jon Nakamatsu.  Their 23/24 season will feature appearances in Berkeley (Cal Performances)\, Boston (Celebrity Series)\, Washington DC (Phillips Collection)\, New York (92nd St. Y)\, Chicago\, Baltimore\, Ann Arbor\, Denver\, Houston\, Indianapolis\, Tucson\, Phoenix\, Santa Fe\, La Jolla\, Aspen\, Vancouver\, Calgary\, Edmonton\, and at Dartmouth College\, and Spivey Hall in Georgia\, among many others.  European highlights include Edinburgh\, Lucerne\, Brussels\, Amsterdam\, Hanover\, Frankfurt\, and Hamburg’s Elb Philharmonie. \nOutside the concert hall the quartet has worked with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US providing encouragement\, education\, and healing to marginalized communities – including elderly\, disabled\, rehabilitating incarcerated and homeless populations – who otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance.  They have also been resident ensemble for the Contemporary Alexander School/Alexander Alliance International.  In conjunction with those well-versed in the world of Alexander Technique\, as well as other performers\, the ISQ explores the vast landscape of body awareness\, mental preparation\, and performance practice.  \nThe name Isidore recognizes the ensemble’s musical connection to the Juilliard Quartet:  one of that group’s early members was legendary violinist Isidore Cohen.  Additionally\, it acknowledges a shared affection for a certain libation – legend has it a Greek monk named Isidore concocted the first genuine vodka recipe for the Grand Duchy of Moscow![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439499865{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

Sponsored by Gibson Guitars\, the coast to coast tour has become known as “the jam of the year.” \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”About”][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND” tab_id=”1733843663390-d9b77f71-7bdf”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Individually\, they’re DEVON ALLMAN and DUANE BETTS\, two solo artists and modern-day guitar heroes who’ve both spent years creating their own version of American roots music. \nTogether\, they’re the leaders of The Allman Betts Band\, a supergroup anchored by sharp songwriting\, fiery fretwork\, and an historic legacy. Inspired by the classic sounds of the group’s family tree\, The Allman Betts Band makes timeless rock & roll for the modern world\, blurring the boundaries between blues\, Americana\, and southern soul. Over the course of two critically-acclaimed studio albums\, hundreds of live shows\, and annual performances of the Allman Betts Family Revival\, The Allman Betts Band has established its own legacy of music and brotherhood. \nDevon and Duane first met as children in 1989\, when their fathers — keyboardist Gregg Allman and guitarist Dickey Betts\, both co-founders of The Allman Brothers Band — brought their boys on tour for the group’s 20th anniversary tour. “When you grow up on tour like that\, it connects you at a young age\,” Duane says. “From that point on\, we knew we were family. Even though we never lived in the same city\, we always had that bond.” \nIn late 2017\, Devon and Duane found themselves onstage at the Fillmore in San Francisco — a performance that would birth not only The Allman Betts Family Revival tradition\, but also The Allman Betts Band itself. “That night would’ve been my father’s 70th birthday\,” Devon recalls\, “so I put together a one-off concert to celebrate his life and his music. Duane joined me for some songs. Our families had been intertwined for years\, and we always knew we might form a band at some point in our lives. That show proved we had the chemistry to do it.” \nThe musical chemistry grew throughout 2018\, while the two songwriters played more than 100 shows across the world. Along the way\, they began writing new songs in hotel rooms and tour bus lounges\, creating their own version of the soulful\, guitar-fueled music they’d grow up loving. Flush with material\, The Allman Betts Band recorded its debut album\, Down to the River\, at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The guys tracked the record live\, recording to two-inch analog tape without the use of computers or digital editing. Down to the River was released in 2019\, reaching Number 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart and cracking the Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts. \n“We built a fanbase very quickly\,” Devon says. “I think there was a need for our kind of music\, especially for people who loved bands like The Grateful Dead\, the Allman Brothers\, and the Rolling Stones. Those fans were excited to hear a newer band doing music in an old-school vein.” \nTo support the album’s release\, The Allman Betts Band launched a world tour on March\, 2019 — an historic date that marked the 50-year anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band’s first jam session in Jacksonville\, Florida. As the seven-piece band toured the world\, the musical connection between Devon and Duane grew deeper. They wrote new songs during the short breaks between shows. They collaborated on the third-annual Family Revival. They even found time to return to Muscle Shoals Sound Studios with producer Matt Ross-Spang\, with whom they recorded Bless Your Heart over a week’s time. \nWhen a global pandemic threatened to prevent The Allman Betts Band from touring behind Bless Your Heart\, the guys got creative\, playing socially-distanced gigs in cow pastures before launching an extensive drive-in tour. They hit a new stride in 2021\, when they played nearly 120 shows — including multiple performances with the Family Revival\, which they turned into a \ntraveling festival featuring an all-star lineup of guests. Artists like Robert Randolph\, Jimmy Hall\, Donovan Frankenreiter\, and G. Love joined them that year\, and when the Family Revival returned in 2022 for another run of shows\, the guys were joined by Luther Dickinson\, Maggie Rose\, and others. \n“The Family Revival started as a celebration of my father\, but it evolved into a Last Waltz-style reunion of players from our generation\, as well as up-and-coming talent\,” Devon explains. “It’s become a chance for all of us to come together\, play this precious catalog\, and galvanize our own generation of musicians. It’s something my Dad would’ve been proud of. I know that Duane’s dad is proud of it\, too.” \nMeanwhile\, The Allman Betts Band took some time off in 2022 and early 2023. During the hiatus\, Duane recorded and released Wild & Precious Life — his full-length debut as a solo artist — while Devon toured the country with Donavon Frankenreiter\, setting a new world record for playing 50 shows across all 50 states in 49 days. By the summer of 2023\, The Allman Betts Band had returned to the road\, ready to start a new chapter. The group expanded its lineup\, too\, with Allman and Betts now joined by guitarist Johnny Stachela\, bassist Justin Corgan\, keyboardist John Ginty\, percussionist/saxophonist David Gomez\, and drummers John Lum and Alex Orbison. \n“We’re keeping the tradition alive\,” says Duane. “The Allman Betts Band is an original band\, and our albums are the foundation of what we do\, but we’re also happy to include a couple tips-of-the-hat to my dad and Gregg Allman during our sets\, too. They’re part of our influences. They’re part of our history.” \nHistory\, indeed. There’s a rich lineage to The Allman Betts Band\, whose two leaders are carrying the musical torch once held by their fathers. This is a group of musicians who proudly live in the present\, though\, not the past. They make music for today\, creating a new soundtrack for the American South\, blurring the lines between genres along the way. There’s a bluesy Americana band with a teeth. They’re a rock & roll band with soul. They’re first-rate songwriters and top-shelf guitarists\, always searching for a new song to sing. They’re The Allman Betts Band.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed6fa-69cc”]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439953151{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

As the corrosive gears of war begin to rip apart his family\, his integrity\, and his soul\, Danny is thrust into his final\, eternal mission.

This is a one-act play\, with a small cast of combat veterans and military family members playing multiple roles. An elegy is a lament for the dead\, therefore all scenes take place somewhere in the afterlife\, spanning different times from Danny’s youth and military career from May 1989 until he died in 2015. \nWar comes with many costs\, some more obvious than others. The physical wounds and loss of life are tragic but visible\, and burdens that are readily shared. Unfortunately\, there are hundreds of thousands of military veterans and family members for whom the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are still being waged\, at home. Their stories are seldom told and rarely understood. \nThroughout history\, societies have used storytelling to help warriors integrate back into society\, and Last Out follows in that tradition. The mission of this production is to validate the journey of our military veterans and their families while building genuine and well-informed understanding in the communities where they live. \nLast Out is produced by the 501c3 non-profit\, The Heroes Journey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”THE CAST” tab_id=”1730215933676-57588307-98dc”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeff5f-c58d”]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722440103943{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley joins forces with one of the most versatile vocalists in America\, Bucky Heard\, to bring the Righteous Brothers back to the stage! \nThe Righteous Brothers Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour promises a captivating musical odyssey\, spanning the early days of rock and roll and as far-reaching as the movie Dirty Dancing. From heartwarming ballads to energetic rock anthems\, every performance is a testament to the enduring power of The Righteous Brothers’ music and their connection to fans across the globe. \nTake a journey through decades of timeless hits that have defined a generation\, including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin\,'” “Unchained Melody\,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life\,” “Soul and Inspiration\,” “Ebb Tide” and “Rock and Roll Heaven.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”HISTORY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe631b-46bd”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS are back! With a string of #1 classics\, including the most played song in radio history\, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin\,'” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts in four decades. After Bobby’s death in 2003\, Bill Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world\, but fans and friends pleaded with him to keep The Righteous Brothers alive. Says Medley\, “No one could ever take Bobby’s place\, but when I caught Bucky Heard’s show it all came together — I found the right guy to help me recreate the magic.”  \nThe Bill Medley/Bucky Heard pairing came as something of a happy accident. Medley says it just seemed right.  \n“I’d been friends with Bucky for years\, but when I caught his show he just killed me! The next day it hit me — that’s the guy\, someone I could sing hard with\, laugh hard with\, love and respect — on and off stage. He fits The Righteous Brothers live performance show perfectly. And\, we’ve even recorded some new material together\, I’m really excited!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1729518214874-e6aaee0c-d061″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] BILL MEDLEY is truly one of the iconic figures in American music history. His instantly recognizable baritone voice has anchored some of the biggest recordings of all time. He’s won a Grammy\, an Oscar\, a Golden Globe\, and an American Music Award.  \nThe Orange County\, CA native began writing songs as a boy and had his breakout as a songwriter and singer when\, in 1963\, the Medley-penned Little Latin Lupe Lu became a regional hit for Bill and Bobby Hatfield\, as their first release as The Righteous Brothers. Other regional hits followed: “Justine\,” “Koko Joe\,” and “My Babe\,” which led to a regular spot on ABC-TV’s national Shindig! broadcast. Shindig‘s smash success coincided with The Righteous Brothers opening for both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones on their first US tours.  \nSoon\, The Righteous Brothers caught producer Phil Spector’s attention and he signed them to record what would become\, according to BMI\, the most played song in the history of American radio — the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil classic\, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin.'” A string of top hits followed until 1968 when Medley and Hatfield agreed to part ways to pursue solo efforts. Medley soon scored with top ten hits\, “Peace\,” “Brother\,” and “Brown-eyed Woman.” In 1974\, Bill and Bobby re-united and within a few weeks had yet another monster hit with Rock and Roll Heaven.  \nFrom then until Bobby’s passing in 2003\, The Righteous Brothers never stopped performing to packed crowds. During that period\, Bill also recorded the chart-topping duet with Jennifer Warnes\, “The Time of My Life\,” for the movie Dirty Dancing. It went on to sell over 32 million copies worldwide. In 2003\, shortly before Bobby passed away\, Righteous Brothers fan Billy Joel inducted the pair into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a glowing 7-minute speech.  \nAlways active and stretching his creative talents\, Medley has also sung on the soundtracks or performed the theme songs for 33 movies and TV shows and\, in 2014\, released his memoir\, The Time of My Life\, published by Da Capo Press.  \n  \nBUCKY HEARD is an Alabama native and Auburn University alum. He’s been one of the most popular and versatile performers in America for several years\, headlining countless shows in major venues. His reputation as a gutsy rock and roll singer\, with an incredible vocal range\, has garnered much critical praise and a legion of fans.  \nHe’s been hand-selected to share the concert stage with legends\, like Andy Williams and Glen Campbell\, and honored as “Male Vocalist of the Year” by entertainment publications. Credited with being one of the hardest working and in-demand performers\, Bucky has rocked his way across America with his 10-piece horn band\, and also starred in numerous national production shows. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe631b-46bd”]FacebookYoutubeSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722440155231{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus\, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company\, Circus Baobob\, with whom he toured Africa and Europe.   \nIn the early 2000’s\, Yamoussa was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize\, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company.  While in Canada he also performed with Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia (cirque with horses).  In 2007\, Yamoussa realized his dream and opened his own company\, Kalabanté Productions\, in Montreal\, Canada. He recruited many of his extended family members to join the company\, including his twin sisters\, brothers\, and cousins.  \nThe company began doing shows in Quebec\, and over the years expanded to all of Canada\, the USA and now performs worldwide.  In 2018\, Kalabanté opened their own studio and school in Montreal\, offering classes in African dance\, cirque\, and drumming.  \nKalabanté Productions is proud to be able to share their work\, achievements and skills to inspire others and to assist with the humanitarian mission to help the Guinean community from which Yamoussa and many of his company members come. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”THE TEAM” tab_id=”1728055805514-b1a2d73e-bae1″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Yamoussa Bangoura – Founder of Kalabanté Productions\, juggler\, singer\, kora player\, wheel artist\, acrobat and dancer. \nMama Adama Soumah – contortionist\, dancer \nMmahawa Soumah – contortionist\, dancer \nMohamed Ben Sylla – contortionist \nAlya Sylla – acrobat \nIsmael Bangoura – acrobat \nAlseny Camara – acrobat \nYamoussa Soumah – acrobat \nMoussa Youla – acrobat \nSeuss Fu-Rubin – saxophone \nAbdelhak Benmedjebari – bass \nKevin T Jones – drums \nChloé Drolet – Technical Manager \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL MEDIA” tab_id=”1728057125735-d94e36f6-5a57″]FacebookInstagram[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1689962444644{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/NqgWWX6_P84″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” el_id=”accessibility” css=”.vc_custom_1689962483149{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

With iconography as distinctive as their sound\, ZZ TOP is virtually synonymous with beards\, hotrod cars\, spinning guitars and that magic keychain\, all of which transcend geography and language. The band consists of singer/guitarist Billy F Gibbons\, drummer Frank Beard (a/k/a “The Man With No Beard”) and bassist Elwood Francis\, who stepped up in 2021 after the passing of longtime member Dusty Hill. With the release of each of their albums the band has explored new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material they’ve recorded. ZZ TOP is the same but always changing.   \nTheir latest album RAW (Shelter Records/BMG\, July 2022) was recorded at the historic Texas venue Gruene Hall as part of the filming for the 2019 Grammy-nominated documentary directed by Sam Dunn\, aptly titled ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band From Texas. Billy\, Frank and Dusty blazed through 12 career-spanning tunes in what their guitarist calls “a satisfying return to our roots and a very special circumstance that we’re delighted to share with the friends and fans who have stuck with us all this time.” The album is issued “in righteous memory” of Dusty\, and in conjunction with their 50+ date 2022 North American RAW WHISKY TOUR. The tour’s title is partially derived from the new ZZ Top Tres Hombres Whisky offered from Balcones Distilling.   \nIt was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ TOP coalesced from the core of two rival bands\, Billy’s Moving Sidewalks and Frank and Dusty’s American Blues. The new group went on to record the appropriately titled ZZ Top’s First Album and Rio Grande Mud that reflected their strong blues roots.  Their third\, 1973’s Tres Hombres\, catapulted them to national attention with the hit “La Grange\,” still one of the band’s signature pieces today. The song is unabashed elemental boogie\, celebrating the institution that came to be known as “the best little whorehouse in Texas.” Their next hit was “Tush\,” a song about\, well\, let’s just say the pursuit of “the good life” that was featured on their Fandango! album\, released in 1975. The band’s momentum and success built during its first decade\, culminating in the legendary “World Wide Texas Tour\,” a production that included a longhorn steer\, a buffalo\, buzzards\, rattlesnakes and a Texas-shaped stage. As a touring unit\, they’ve been without peer over the years\, having performed before millions of fans through North America on numerous epochal tours as well as overseas where they’ve enthralled audiences from Slovenia to Argentina\, from Australia to Sweden\, from Russia to Japan and most points in between.   \nFollowing a lengthy hiatus during which the individual members of the band traveled the world\, they switched labels (from British Decca’s London label to Warner Bros.) and returned with two amazingly provocative albums\, Deguello and El Loco. Their next release\, Eliminator\, was something of a paradigm shift for ZZ TOP. Their roots blues skew was intact but added to the mix were tech-age trappings that soon found a visual outlet with the nascent MTV. Suddenly\, Billy\, Dusty and Frank were video icons\, playing a kind of Greek chorus in videos that highlighted the album’s three smash singles: “Gimme All Your Lovin’\, “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs.” The melding of grungy guitar-based blues with synth-pop was seamless and continued with the follow-up album Afterburner as they continued their chart juggernaut. ZZ TOP had accomplished the impossible; they had moved with the times while simultaneously bucking ephemeral trends that crossed their path. They had become more popular and more iconic without ever having to be “flavor of the week.” They had become a certified rock institution\, contemporary in every way\, yet still completely connected to the founding fathers of the genre.  \nThey stayed with Warner for one more album\, Recycler\, released in 1990 and switched to RCA where they debuted with Antenna and followed with Rhythmeen\, XXX and Mescalero. Beyond that\, both a lavish four CD box set compilation\, Chrome\, Smoke & B.B.Q. and a two-CD distillation of that package\, Rancho Texicano\, were released by Warner.  \nIn 2012\, ZZ TOP unveiled LA FUTURA\, their first studio album in nine years.  Produced by Rick Rubin and Billy F Gibbons\, and released on American Recordings\, it reflected the solid blues inspiration that has powered the band since the very beginning with a contemporary approach that underscored the group’s inclination to experiment and explore new sonic vistas.  The album included the widely lauded “I Gotsta Get Paid” that has become both a video and in-concert sensation.  ZZ Top’s rich history became the subject of a box set release the following year.  ZZ Top: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1990 offered no fewer than 10 of the band’s most lauded albums all with the original mixes restored.   \nZZ TOP’s career retrospective The Very Baddest surfaced in 2014. It spans the entire course of their London\, Warner Bros. and RCA years. Listeners can follow the evolution of the band’s sound from the early ‘70s into the ‘00s on either a 40 track double CD or a 20 track single CD. That same year Eagle Rock Entertainment released Live at Montreux 2013 on both Blu-ray and DVD formats\, showcasing their live act\, leaving no doubt as to why they have been such a huge concert draw for the last several decades. When it comes to the live experience\, they’ve still got it.  \n2016 saw the release of ZZ TOP’s Live! Greatest Hits From Around The World album on Suretone\, consisting of 15 songs recorded live in 13 cities across three continents. Guitar legend Jeff Beck joins the band on stage in his native London for two songs – “Rough Boy\,” and a cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “Sixteen Tons\,” the latter of which was inspired by a hoax YouTube video claiming to be ZZ TOP and Jeff Beck playing that very song. Their rendition matches the hoax video\, in what Billy describes as “a mega meta kinda thang.”     \nThe elements that keep ZZ TOP fresh\, enduring and above the transitory fray can be summed up in the three words of the band’s internal mantra: “Tone\, Taste and Tenacity.” Of course\, the three members of the band have done their utmost to do their part in assuring that ZZ TOP prevails. As genuine roots musicians\, they have few peers. Billy is widely regarded as one of American finest blues guitarists working in the rock idiom. His influences are both the originators of the form – Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, et al – as well as the British blues rockers who emerged the generation before ZZ’s ascendance. In his early days of playing\, no less an idol than Jimi Hendrix singled him out for praise. Part mad scientist\, part prankster\, he’s a musical innovator of the highest order and a certified “guitar god.” He also had a recurring small screen presence in the hit TV series Bones in which he played a bearded\, gruff\, rock guitarist. No type casting problems for Billy.   \nFrank has also been keeping the beat in that great tradition.  As both a roots and progressive drummer\, he has been acknowledged as key to the band’s powerful on-stage and in-studio presence. He and Dusty\, in their early years together\, served as Lightnin’ Hopkins’ rhythm section which\, as Frank tells it\, was a life changing experience.  Frank\, despite his last name\, is the guy in the band without a beard.  But when you’re with him\, you’re with a Beard.  He’s a rockin’ paradox who provides the pulse of ZZ TOP.  \n Elwood has been part of the ZZ Top family for the better part of three decades as the band’s guitar tech. In July 2021\, when Dusty took a temporary leave to deal with a chronic hip injury\, Elwood was asked to step in for Dusty until his return\, which unfortunately was not to be. Dusty’s untimely passing opened the way for Elwood to become ZZ’s permanent bassist. Although the absolute legend that is and always will be Dusty Hill can never be replaced\, Elwood’s exceptional musicianship more than qualifies him to take over as the band’s bass player.   \nZZ TOP’s music is always instantly recognizable\, eminently powerful\, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation.  The band’s support for the blues is unwavering both as interpreters of the music and preservers of its legacy.  It was ZZ TOP that celebrated “founding father” Muddy Waters by turning a piece of scrap timber than had fallen from his sharecropper’s shack into a beautiful guitar\, dubbed the “Muddywood.” This totem was sent on tour as a fundraising focus for The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale\, Mississippi\, site of Robert Johnson’s famed “Crossroads” encounter with the devil.  ZZ TOP’s support and link to the blues remains as rock solid as the music they continue to play.  They have sold millions of records over the course of their career\, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas\, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards\, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons but\, against all odds\, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. They’re real and they’re surreal and they’re ZZ TOP.  \n  \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE SUMMIT” tab_id=”1727184715487-f49bc988-47ad”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Spawned out of Southern Ohio\, THE SUMMIT has rapidly risen to become one of the country’s most sought-after touring bands having toured with legendary acts like ZZ Top\, Collective Soul\, and REO Speedwagon of the past few years.

Over the past fifteen years\, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists.  In 2022\, she made history by becoming the first black woman to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year\, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Ever-expanding as an artist\, she has worked with cultural icons including Common\, Lauryn Hill\, John Legend\, and Moses Sumney.  Her current album\, Brand New Life\, builds on her already rich oeuvre\, and cements the harp’s place in pop culture.  As the title of the album suggests\, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic\, personal\, political\, and spiritual. On this album\, Younger salutes her musical foremother\, the trailblazing harpist Dorothy Ashby\, while also speaking to the sentiments of more recent generations. “We’re bringing new life to Dorothy Ashby’s popular and previously unreleased compositions. We’re creating new life…for the instrument\,” Younger said. Brand New Life is an album about living fully\, in neon bright color.  \n In March of 2022\, Younger flew to Chicago and began recording Brand New Life in the home studio of her long time collaborator and friend\, Makaya McCraven\, who both produced and played drums on the album. In the Windy City\, Younger hoped to harness some of Ashby’s funky energy from a recording she did there nearly five decades before. Younger gathered artists who have had a sense of kinship with Ashby; from the internationally-lauded neo-soul bassist/vocalist/rapper Meshell Ndegeocello\, to her long-time bassist Rashaan Carter\, plus the legendary rapper and producer Pete Rock and the talented contemporary producer 9th Wonder. The latter producers introduced hip hop and R&B listeners to Ashby in the 1990s and early 2000s via slick samples. Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s 1992 release\, “For Pete’s Sake\,” samples Ashby’s 1968 hit “Come Live With Me.” 9th Wonder’s remix of singer Amerie’s 2003 R&B classic “Why Don’t We Fall in Love\,” also includes a Dorothy Ashby sample from “Come Live With Me.” With Younger’s solo rendition of this heavily sampled song on Brand New Life\, she builds a sonic bridge between generations. “I wanted everyone on the record to have a special connection to Dorothy [Ashby]\,” she said.  For the project\, Younger also recorded a number of Ashby’s compositions that were never recorded before\, alongside Ashby fan favorites and Younger originals.   \nThe emotional complexity of the album is stunningly captured in the title track\, “Brand New Life\,” an original co-written by Younger and singer\, Mumu Fresh. “This love is so deep\, time and space couldn’t keep you away from me\,” Mumu Fresh sings. Younger’s playing paints lush details over Mumu Fresh’s smooth vocals leaving nothing to be sonically desired. Against the backdrop of current social issues–climate change\, racism\, health disparities\, and women’s rights–the song speaks to a desire that many people have for change\, for something new in the world. “Brand New Life” reaches listeners at the level of the human.  \n Love is a subtle but insistent thread throughout the album. The opening track\, “You’re a Girl For One Man Only\,” is a previously unrecorded Dorothy Ashby composition. Sonically\, it is tender and evocative of a first kiss or the early seasons of new romance. Younger recalls the original song’s lyrics’ more traditional message of romantic longing that we still hear in popular music today. Boy chases girl. Girl succumbs. In Younger’s version\, there is a sense of agency and exploration. Younger creates a mesmerizing atmosphere. In the second half of the track we are met with a delicate dance between Joel Ross on vibraphone and Younger on harp\, the two instruments pining through the melody.   \nBrand New Life is part of her steadfast efforts to amplify the contributions of black women harpists and to keep their legacies alive.  Her care for and attention to Dorothy Ashby as a musical ancestor has been consistent throughout her career. Akin to the popular hashtag\, #CiteBlackWomen\, which demands that consumers credit and recognize black women for their intellectual labor\, Younger urges us to recognize Ashby’s contribution to the American songbook. The album is part of a larger project of recognizing not only the history of innovators of distinguished harp – a history that places Ashby and Younger together on a continuum – but also the presence of everyday black women.   \n“Running Game” was an obscure seven-inch single release originally entitled “Double Talkin’” and featured Ashby on piano. In the song’s intro\, we hear what sounds like a casual conversation at a black women’s beauty salon or at a social gathering of sorts where women freely share advice and observations on life with one another. The voices in the intro are of Younger’s mother and aunt. Younger sets up listeners by reading the lyrics from Ashby’s original. “Every man I meet is double talkin.’ Where did the good men go?” The women candidly respond to the song lyrics. One says\, “As far as game\, men have been running game since day one.” The track leads into\, “Running Game\,” a ballad with inflections of Negro spirituals and the blues.  Here\, Younger’s expressivity on her instrument is incomparable. As the strings (arranged by DeSean Jones) hum behind her\, the “double-talking” gold-digging man comes into full view. “Running-Game” ends on a note of optimism\, of marching forward despite life’s struggle.   \nYounger was born and raised in Hempstead\, New York. As a teen in the early 1990s\, she bopped to the beats of artists like LL Cool J\, Queen Latifah\, and Busta Rhymes. Among these hip hop greats\, she discovered Ashby’s music by way of hip hop legend Pete Rock. She began playing harp at the age of eleven and eventually enrolled at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in Connecticut where she studied classical music. It was through the encouragement of legendary saxophonist Jackie McLean that she made her first foray into jazz with the harp.    \nHearing Ashby for the first time led her to envision new possibilities for herself as a harpist. “She was covering all of these popular tunes and soundtracks [of the time] and I wanted to do that. She’s playing pop\, jazz and everyone’s sampling her–DJ Premier\, Pete Rock\, J. Dilla. Hearing\, then seeing her as a Black Woman\, while I’m this random little isolated black girl playing a harp by myself was everything to me.” Younger forged her way with a small but mighty group of black women harpists as examples—Sarah Lawrence from her hometown\, Ann Hobson-Pilot\, Dorothy Ashby\, and Alice Coltrane—who were consistent sources of inspiration.  \n In 2006\, after graduating from the Hartt School\, Younger went on to develop a name for herself on the jazz and commercial recording scene in New York City. To date\, her performance roster is fierce. As a side-woman\, she has played alongside jazz icons such as Pharoah Sanders\, Ravi Coltrane\, Jack DeJohnette and Reggie Workman. Younger’s commitment to carrying the torch can also be seen through her work as a performer and educator. In 2008\, she earned a Master of Music from New York University’s Steinhardt School. During this time\, she began to work seriously as an educator. She has been guest faculty and lecturer at numerous universities including but not limited to Berklee College of Music\, Princeton University\, Howard University and Tulane University. Currently\, she serves as teaching artist faculty at New York University and The New School.     \n In 2020\, Younger was named winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll in the category of “Rising Star” harpist. Her work as side-woman is evidence of Younger’s undeniable presence in the sound of contemporary jazz today. In recent years\, she has appeared on albums by Lakecia Benjamin\, Robert Glasper\, Jeremy Pelt\, The Baylor Project and Makaya McCraven\, just to name a few.  In addition to her contributions as a side-woman\, Younger’s commitment to honoring the legacy of black women harpists can be seen through her curatorial work. She has curated a number of performances dedicated to honoring the work of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. This work speaks to her dedication as a purveyor of black music and history. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe65c6-d019″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe65c6-d019″]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722438750459{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

More than a hundred years after Brubeck’s birth\, the Brubeck Brothers unite with nationally acclaimed saxophonist Sharel Cassity to pay tribute to the legendary pianist and bandleader.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”davebrubeckseatmap”][vc_column]ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbea864-7f85″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]CHRIS AND DAN BRUBECK have been making music together practically all their lives.  Drummer Dan and bassist\, trombonist\, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966—nearly a half century ago. They’ve subsequently played a variety of styles in a number of different groups\, as well as with their father\, jazz giant Dave Brubeck\, and with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation\, guitarist MIKE DeMICCO and pianist CHUCK LAMB\, complete this dynamic quartet.  They perform at concert series\, colleges\, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe including the Newport\, Detroit\, Montreal\, Playboy/Hollywood Bowl\, and Monterey Jazz Festivals.   \nThe Quartet’s last cd\, TimeLine\, celebrated Dave Brubeck’s famous 1958 State Department tour.  The CD received extensive airplay in major jazz markets across America and was a hit on the Jazz Week radio charts for five months.  The CD garnered dozens of stellar reviews\, among them Dr. Judith Schlesinger of AllAboutJazz who wrote of TimeLine\, “An exciting ride. These are magnificent players whose years together have forged a seasoned and well-oiled musical unit… Their joy in this playing\, and each other\, is audible.  Apart from its historic value—this is an exciting and varied outing\, recorded crisply and with great warmth. The ‘Timeline’ it reflects is not just in years\, but also in a legacy which—lucky for all of us—continues its powerful forward movement today.”  \n These versatile musicians also collaborate with or­chestras all across the U.S. as well as internationally. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle\, the BBQ has performed with chamber/orchestral groups such as the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, the Philadelphia Orchestra\, the Russian National Symphony Orchestra and the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.  \nAlthough the Quartet’s style is rooted in “straight-ahead” jazz\, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk\, blues and world music.The group’s creativity\, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music\, which reflects their dedication to melody\, rhythm\, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Saxophonist\, composer and educator SHAREL CASSITY is a nationally acclaimed saxophonist prominent in the New York and Chicago jazz scenes.

His rap-opera\, The Greatest: Muhammad Ali\, premiered in 2017\, celebrating Louisville’s hometown hero with an all-star cast that included Rhiannon Giddens and Jubilant Sykes. Abrams’ work with the Louisville Orchestra has been profiled on CBS News Sunday Morning\, NPR\, and in The Wall Street Journal. \nAbrams recently collaborated with Jim James\, vocalist and guitarist for My Morning Jacket\, on the song cycle The Order of Nature\, which they premiered with the Louisville Orchestra in 2018 and recorded on Decca Gold. In the 2019-20 season\, Abrams and James perform The Order of Nature with the National\, Seattle\, and Colorado Symphonies. Also in 2019-20\, Abrams makes his debut as guest conductor with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg and the Sarasota Orchestra and returns to the San Francisco Symphony in his subscription debut. \n  \nWith the sweet and good things in life\, there always comes darkness. This is a lesson that GRAMMY-winning fiddler\, MICHAEL CLEVELAND\, knows all too well. In 2021\, two of his dearest and oldest friends passed away. Bill Wolfe and Eddie Wells were two of the best local bluegrass musicians in his hometown in southern Indiana—they were two of the people who had inspired him to pick up the fiddle at just four years old\, so their passing hit hard. “More than ever\, losing both of them made me realize that life is short and is also what you make it\,” says Cleveland. “It made me really stop and think of all the people in my life who have influenced me in life and music\, and to not take anything for granted.” \nWith his sixth solo studio release\, LOVIN’ OF THE GAME\, veteran fiddle virtuoso Michael Cleveland seizes his opportunity at this one wonderful life and swings for the rafters. The album positively hums with energy. Not beholden to one specific genre or pigeonholed label\, it showcases Cleveland’s inclusive musical nature—placing value in the process over the output. It is in this release of control that we find something truly sublime: the sound of artists working together in the act of creation without regard for any preconceived notion of what “should” be. The sound of genuine musicianship. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”loseatmap”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]SOLD OUT: GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS\nGeneral admission tickets for this event are sold out.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]$150 DIAMOND CIRCLE VIP EVENT TICKETS\nSupporting the Norton Center’s Arts for the Classroom Ticket Subsidy Program (ACTS)\nHelp us introduce the arts to area youth while unlocking exclusive benefits and experiences.

In 1498\, Emperor Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna to establish the Chapel Imperial there\, along with the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries\, the court attracted musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Anton Bruckner. Joseph Haydn\, Michael Haydn\, and Franz Schubert were themselves choirboys. \nToday the Vienna Boys Choir is a private\, non-profit organization\, which relies on sponsorship and donations. The Choir maintains a primary school\, a junior and a senior high school. 300 boys and girls between the ages of six and 19 attend the Choir’s Schools in Vienna’s Augarten park. All receive individual voice lessons and sing in one of the choirs. The Choir’s education is open to all\, regardless of their origin\, nationality\, or religion. About third of the students go on to become music professionals. \nThe 100 boy choristers between the ages of nine and fourteen are divided into four choirs. Between them\, the choirs give around 300 concerts each year\, attended by almost half a million spectators around the world. Since 1924\, the boys have sung over 1000 tours in 100 different countries\, which has resulted in a staggering 29\,000 performances. At the Sunday services in Vienna’s Imperial Chapel\, they perform with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the State Opera Chorus. The Choir frequently appears with major orchestras\, conducted by the likes of Joana Mallwitz\, Zubin Mehta\, Riccardo Muti\, Christian Thielemann\, and Simone Young. Recent highlights include appearances at the Salzburg Festival and at the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert. \nThe Vienna Boys Choir’s singing tradition is listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage in Austria. Professor Gerald Wirth\, himself a former choirboy\, is the Artistic Director of the entire Campus. \n  \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR” tab_id=”1705695058068-dcfd8109-5908″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]The Hong Kong-born conductor and pianist JIMMY CHIANG started his musical career as a teenager.
