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. On the other side\, with Valhalla beckoning\, he discovers that combat can be fueled by vengeance or by love… it just depends on which price you are willing to pay. \nBased on true stories\, Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret explores the many sacrifices soldiers make to protect our country’s freedoms. \nCONTENT ADVISORY: There will be scenes and sounds of combat\, strobe effects\, fog\, a wooden weapon\, and profanity. The show contains news clips from the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon and the crash of Extortion 17. Please make sure your cell phone is silenced or placed in airplane mode. Photography and video recording are not permitted. This play is about war and the cost of war.

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.

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.

Its eight original company members quite literally stitched a show together with recycled materials and old car tires\, culminating in the first tour of “One Man’s Trash” in 2016. Since then\, Cirque Us has expanded to produce and tour original\, full-length works year after year\, alongside educational experiences such as camps\, workshops\, and other events for people of all ages and abilities. The DailyUV.com calls Cirque Us “the perfect blend of sophistication and fun\,” and “non-stop action that keeps you guessing as to what is to come next.” Audience members rave\, sharing testimonies like “Fantastic Show! In the last week\, I’ve seen Cirque du Soleil\, Circus Smirkus\, and Cirque Us\, and Cirque Us is the one I came back to see a second time!” \nWith every year boasting a larger tour and improving the quality of each new production\, Cirque Us is proud to hit the road for our 10th season. Not only are we creating a BRAND NEW SHOW for the first time since 2019\, but this will be our first tour with a social mission at the forefront of our creative process. As part of our mission to spread circus magic and build confident communities\, we are thrilled to share that this new show is being developed specifically with community in mind. Alongside our regular performance venues\, we have partnered with a set of schools\, libraries\, and community centers to bring the circus directly to the people. Access to high-quality performance and arts education is a precious commodity\, and through the help of strategic partnerships and grant funding\, we are so excited to support the reach and accessibility of the arts with this show. Looking ahead\, we have exciting plans and hopes to see droves of new audiences\, young readers\, and future artists attend Cirque Us Stories free of charge\, all across New England \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/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.

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.

This duel-threat ability was recognized by the 2022 Downbeat Critics Poll where he appeared as not only the #2 Rising Star Male Vocalist\, but a top Rising Star Trumpeter as well. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics).

In early 2020 he released A Lot of Livin’ to Do\, the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut One of a Kind. This sophomore effort\, richly varied in mood and brimming with bop inflection\, features bassist extraordinaire and Jazz ambassador Christian McBride (whose Grammy-award winning Big Band frequently calls upon Benny in the trumpet section) and drummer/producer Ulysses Owens\, Jr.\, as well as the radiant Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes.

The group’s albums and DVD releases have been consistent multi-platinum best-sellers\, and its concert tours continue to touch the hearts of a devoted audience that spans the globe. \nBoth an accomplished recording ensemble and a world-class performing collective\, Celtic Woman celebrates Ireland’s rich musical and cultural heritage\, while continuing its remarkable 16-year legacy of introducing some of Ireland’s most talented singers and musicians onto the world stage. \nCeltic Woman’s fresh fusion of traditional Irish music and contemporary songcraft celebrates Ireland’s history while reflecting the vibrant spirit of modern Ireland. The group’s repertoire encompasses Irish classics\, contemporary songs\, classical favorites and stirring originals. The lineup of performers has evolved in the years since the group’s inception\, but the signature sound of Celtic Woman has remained consistent\, showcasing the members’ individual and collaborative talents. \nCeltic Woman is comprised of four young Irish women whose performing skills bring centuries of musical and cultural tradition to life. In concert\, their angelic voices and instrumental virtuosity are accompanied by a robust ensemble that includes Irish dancers\, bagpipers and a full band playing an array of traditional Celtic instruments\, including bodhran\, tin whistle\, bouzouki and Uilleann pipes. \nCeltic Woman has sold over ten million CDs and DVDs\, making it the only all-female act to achieve multi-platinum success in the classical crossover and world music genres during the past decade. Named Billboard’s #1 World Music Artist of the Year six times\, twelve of the studio CDs have debuted at #1 on Billboard’s World Album chart. Celtic Woman has also scored two Top 10 debuts on Billboard’s influential album chart and five Top Five DVDs on Billboard’s Top Video chart\, as well as achieving platinum-level sales in nine countries. Their 2016 album release\, Destiny\, was nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best World Music Album\, marking the group’s first-ever Grammy nomination. \nCeltic Woman continues to perform its sonically and visually stunning concerts in front of capacity crowds around the world\, having racked up cumulative ticket sales of over four million and performing for adoring crowds in 23 countries on six continents. \nNamed Celtic Woman to represent the essence of a Celtic female performer\, the group made its American television debut in early 2005 with a self-titled PBS concert special\, which captured a sold-out performance at the Helix in Dublin.

After college\, he landed a marketing job at Disney and began studies in music composition\, first at Juilliard\, and then at UCLA. He moved from marketing to producing in the newly formed Disney Interactive Division where he had the opportunity to write music for video games.   \nAfter moving to DreamWorks Interactive\, he was asked to score the temp track for the video game adaptation of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Subsequently\, Steven Spielberg hired him as the composer and it became the first PlayStation game to have a live orchestral score\, recorded with members of the Seattle Symphony. Giacchino went on to score numerous video games including Spielberg’s Medal of Honor series.   \nGiacchino’s work in video games sparked the interest of J.J. Abrams\, and thus began their long-standing relationship that would lead to scores for the hit television series\nAlias and Lost\, and the feature films Mission Impossible III\, Star Trek\, Super 8 and Star Trek Into Darkness.   \nAdditional projects include collaborations with Disney Imagineering on music for Space Mountain\, Star Tours (with John Williams)\, the Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris\, and the Incredicoaster on Pixar Pier at California Adventure.

In June 2018\, Giacchino premiered his first work for symphony orchestra\, Voyage. Commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra\, the piece celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of NASA. In July 2019\, a third movement was added for the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing.   \nJojo Rabbit\, the critically acclaimed Fox Searchlight film written and directed by Taika Waititi\, earned Giacchino a BAFTA nomination this year. His upcoming projects set to release in 2021 include Matt Reeves’ The Batman.   \nGiacchino serves as the Governor of the Music Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and sits on the advisory board of Education Through Music Los Angeles.            [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Coco In Concert Music Director ESIN AYDINGOZ is an emerging conductor and composer working in a wide range of genres\, including animation\, silent films\, documentaries\, TV series\, video games and stage musicals.

They also scored a number one hit when they they were asked to recreate Queen’s harmonies for “The Real Life” with Fatboy Slim. \nBy now\, they were in demand in European arenas playing Ahoy\, where the now reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later. They were delighted to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos such as Hammer To Fall and Don’t Stop Me Now. \nKiller Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for the homeless. \nKiller Queen set their sights on America including the awe inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the countries most prestigious venues. The Beatles\, Springsteen\, U2 have all played there and the band are delighted it’s become a regular sell out fixture on Killer Queen’s tour sheet. \nDuring 2020 the band released a single in the style of Queen written by Patrick. “We’ll Fight Again”delighted Queen fans all over the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeccd7-0993″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeccd7-0993″]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1686325566538{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/QU3a0iOc5ZY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” el_id=”accessibility”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

Their sophomore release\, Pale\, was recorded independently in 1989. Both records were released by Columbia Records\, in 1989 and 1990 respectively. \nToad’s third studio album\, “Fear\,” followed in 1991 and included their multi-format iconic hit singles “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean”\, was certified RIAA Platinum and further solidified the band’s popularity and mainstream success. \nIn 1994 the band released “Dulcinea\,” which included songs “Something’s Always Wrong\,” and “Fall Down\,” both staples at alternative and mainstream radio\, that helped Toad to earn their second RIAA certified Platinum Album and make Toad the Wet Sprocket a household name. In 1995 Toad released In Light Syrup\, a collection of rarities that included the hit “Good Intentions”\, which was featured on the Platinum-selling Friends soundtrack. \nThe band took a break in the late 1990s\, with the members pursuing solo projects. However\, they reunited in 2006 and have continued to perform together ever since. In 2013\, they released their first album in 16 years\, “New Constellation\,” which was funded by their fans as one of the most successful music Kickstarter campaigns in history. The album includes fan-favorite tracks “The Moment”\, “California Wasted” and “Enough” that showcase the bands growth and versatility. The album received critical acclaim and was followed by a successful tour. \nToad’s most recent studio album “Starting Now” (2021) marked a return to form for the band\, with its catchy melodies\, introspective lyrics\, and signature harmonies. It well-received and showcased the band’s signature sound while also exploring new sonic territories. Songs like “Transient Whales”\, “Starting Now” and “Hold On” serve as core performance tracks at live shows and as fan favorites. \nThroughout their career\, Toad the Wet Sprocket has remained humble and grateful for the support of their fans. Lead vocalist Glen Phillips has stated in interviews that the band is amazed by the loyalty of their audience and is honored to continue creating music that resonates with them. \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] \nWith a reputation for spectacular live performances\, the genesis of multi-platinum artist THE VERVE PIPE can be traced back to the early 90s when the principal members of two rival Michigan bands joined forces. After releasing two independent albums\, I’ve Suffered A Head Injury and Pop Smear\, the group quickly garnered a regional following for its textured rock songs distinguished by innovative arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. \nIn addition to their success on radio\, TV and film\, sold-out concert dates throughout the U.S.\, Canada\, Europe and Australia\, features in Spin and Rolling Stone and videos on MTV and VH1\, the band have made numerous television appearances\, including ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ and ‘Late Night With David Letterman.’ \nAfter an eight year hiatus\, The Verve Pipe were approached to submit an original song for a compilation album of children’s music. That session inspired A Family Album\, their critically acclaimed introduction to the world of children’s music\, as well as their follow up release\, Are We There Yet?. Both albums contain music intended for the entire family\, with fun and inventive lyrics set to the memorable melodies the band is known for. \nThe Verve Pipe continue to tour\, performing both rock and kids shows throughout the U.S.\, including special appearances at Lollapalooza\, Austin City Limits Festival\, Hangout Music Festival\, SummerStage in Central Park\, and many more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeb5b9-27da”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeb5b9-27da”][vc_column_text text_align=”center”]Toad the Wet Sprocket[/vc_column_text]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[vc_column_text text_align=”center”]The Verve Pipe[/vc_column_text]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”toadseatmap”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\nPlease click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

From Dreamboat Annie to Disturbed\, to Dolly Parton and beyond\, Ann Wilson defies genre. \nPrior to starting their summer tour\, Ann Wilson & Tripsitter has been putting the finishing touches on a new album of original material. This year\, Ann brings her show to venues everywhere with the same vigor and verve that she brought that one memorable night in front of Led Zeppelin at The Kennedy Center.[/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=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe”]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1693407417515{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1689954461124{margin-bottom: 90px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q240UDQV_z4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”#accessibility”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

His rich and distinctive baritone voice\, songwriting skills and love of traditional and modern Country music\, have allowed him to do just that and Alex has proven he is here to stay. \nMiller’s rise has been swift. After his Idol exit\, he quickly secured management\, signed with Nashville-based Billy Jam Records\, and released his well-received debut album\, MILLER TIME. The disc displays the broad range of Alex’s traditional musical influences\, including Swing\, Bluegrass\, Country\, and Gospel. “It’s been a whirlwind for sure\,” says the outgoing and confident\, 6’ 6” Kentuckian. “I went from performing regionally to playing at the Ryman Auditorium for goodness sakes.” In addition to the Ryman\, in 2021\, Alex entertained at multiple State Fairs (Kentucky\, Missouri\, New York\, Washington\, Wisconsin)\, and he opened for Hank Jr.\, Josh Turner\, Lee Brice\, and Shenandoah. \nAlex has been performing professionally since the age of seven\, progressing steadily from shows in and around his hometown of Lancaster\, Kentucky to larger markets\, appearing at the Dolby Theatre\, Lucas Oil Stadium\, WoodSongs\, Renfro Valley\, Lincoln Jamboree and more.  His kind of Country is a style that’s easy to like – much like Alex. He’s wholesome and inspiring – with a baby face and enthusiasm to spare. And Miller is here to stay.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
