Zakir Hussain is an international percussion phenomenon\, a virtuoso classical tabla player and a national treasure to his native India. Edgar Meyer\, a five-time Grammy winner and master of the double bass\, combines unparalleled technique and musicianship with a unique gift of composition. Rakesh Chaurasia is part of a multi-generational lineage of classical Indian bansuri (flute) players. Coming together as musical maestros and genre-benders\, these longtime friends and innovators create a fusion that is uniquely their own.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white” css=”.vc_custom_1680899136181{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1677242952067{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column]►[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″][vc_column]ABOUT THE ARTISTS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]The first time banjo legend Béla Fleck\, tabla master Zakir Hussain\, and double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer got together to make an album\, it was to write\, not to play.   \nWhen Fleck and Meyer were looking for a third partner for a triple concerto they had been commissioned to write to mark the opening of Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center\, they thought of Hussain\, who was quite interested in orchestral writing. “We thought we could learn a whole lot from this guy!” says Béla. The result was The Melody of Rhythm (2009)\, recorded with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin.  \nIt wasn’t until the three began touring to promote the album that the trio’s true potential became apparent. Although each had a base in a different musical realm — bluegrass for Fleck\, Indian classical music for Hussain\, and Western classical music for Meyer — they shared a gift for improvisation as well as an ability to reach across musical genres as casually as neighbors might chat over a backyard fence.” When we are performing on stage\, in composing mode or creating mode\, we are basically having a conversation\,” says Hussain. “So the music emerges as we speak.”  \nHence As We Speak\, an album that not only showcases the group’s breathtaking abilities as instrumentalists\, but underscores the wide range of musical influences at their command. Across a dozen tracks\, the group glides easily between the cerebral complexity of Indian rhythm and the gut-level groove of a funky bass line\, sounding equally at home with the rigors of raga.  \nAdding to that magic is Rakesh Chaurasia\, who plays bansuri\, an Indian bamboo flute. When the trio was touring India\, Hussain — who knew Rakesh through his uncle\, Indian flute legend Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia — invited the younger flautist to sit in\, and the chemistry was immediately apparent. “I think we wanted to see if we could do something a little more organic with just a small group\,” says Meyer. “And to have somebody who plays as beautifully as Rakesh join us really opened it up to a more lyrical and melodic situation.”   \n“What I think is good about this quartet is that everybody has to stretch in the direction of the other people\,” adds Fleck. “To me\, a collaboration where nobody changes is not a collaboration. It’s a mashup. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But I like a collaboration where I have to learn a bunch of new things from the other people. And in this case\, I’m learning like crazy.”  \nBéla Fleck\nFew musicians in any category seem as uncategorizable as Béla Fleck. After initially making his mark with the progressive bluegrass group New Grass Revival\, Fleck proceeded to take his instrument\, as New York Times critic Jon Pareles noted\, “to some very unlikely places.” He formed the Flecktones\, a groundbreaking group whose repertoire ranged from fusion to Bach; the group celebrates its 46th anniversary this year. In addition\, he has played jazz with Chick Corea\, American roots with his partner\, banjoist Abigail Washburn\, written concertos for banjo and orchestra\, and created a documentary film and album\, Throw Down Your Heart\, that examined the banjo’s African roots. Along the way\, he has won 16 Grammys across 10 categories.    \nZakir Hussain\nThe pre-eminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time\, Zakir Hussain is appreciated as one of the world’s most esteemed and influential musicians\, one whose mastery of his percussion instrument has taken it to a new level\, transcending cultures and national borders. A child prodigy\, accompanying India’s greatest musicians and dancers from his early years\, and touring internationally while still in his teens\, Zakir has been at the helm of many genre-defying collaborations including Shakti\, Remember Shakti\, Masters of Percussion\, Diga\, Tabla Beat Science\, CrossCurrents\, Sangam and Grammy-award winners Planet Drum and Global Drum Project. A revered composer and educator\, Zakir is the recipient of countless honors\, most recently the 2022 Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy\, the 2022 Aga Khan Music Award for Lifetime Achievement\, and in January\, 2023\, the title of Padma Vibhushan\, India’s second highest civilian award.   \nEdgar Meyer\nAptly described by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument\,” double bassist and composer Edgar Meyer is at home in a broad spectrum of musical styles. A MacArthur Fellow and Avery Fisher Prize winner\, he is eminently at home within classical music\, both performing traditional works and also his significant catalog of original solo\, chamber\, and orchestral pieces. His 30-year relationship with Yo-Yo Ma has yielded seven recordings together\, and his upcoming projects include a duo recording with jazz bassist Christian McBride and a recording of all four of his concertos with the Knights and the Scottish Ensemble\, produced by Chis Thile.  \nRakesh Chaurasia\nLike Zakir Hussain\, Rakesh Chaurasia comes from Indian classical music royalty. His uncle\, Pandit Hariprasad Chaursia\, is widely considered the greatest bansuri player in India\, and Rakesh — who started playing at age five — is deemed his most brilliant student. Not only has he mastered the techniques of Indian classical music\, he has developed additional techniques allowing him to venture into other styles of playing\, particularly with his crossover band Rakesh and Friends. A composer as well as flautist\, he has written and performed on numerous Indian movie soundtracks\, and in 2007 was awarded the Indian Music Academy Award.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h3″][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITY[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

At first a familiar chord strikes everyone’s attention\, then comes a catchy chorus followed by a memorable solo or remarkable moment of improvisation. Such an ear-pleasing arsenal carries into a non-stop evening of precise performance taking fans on a roller coaster ride of electric instrumentation\, timeless balladry\, unpredictable jamming and the ultimate sing-a-long experience. It’s a position held by a troupe of true musical luminaries who through over five decades in show business have been loaded with more hits than members can count\, record sales well into the multi-millions and more drama than a VH1 “Behind the Music” episode and an E! “True Hollywood Story” documentary combined. \nThe name is none other than The Guess Who\, a group that’s connected with the masses throughout a exultant hit parades panning fourteen Top 40 hits\, including “These Eyes\,” “Clap For the Wolfman\,” “Hand Me Down World\,” “No Time\,” “Star Baby” and “Share the Land.” Add in fellow classics and double sided singles like their #1 rock anthem “American Woman” and “No Sugar Tonight\,” plus “Laughing” and “Undun\,” and the Canadian bred stateside conquerors are amongst music’s most indelible treasures who are eternally etched within the very fabric of pop culture history. \n“You’re going to see an excellent version of the songs and hear exactly how they should sound or be played\,” verifies founding member and original drummer/songwriter Garry Peterson. “We’re coming at a new generation of fans who are seeing how the band can execute with enthusiasm. And we’re also making sure the respect level remains at an all time high for how the music was initially recorded and remains at an all time high for the fans who have been with the band from the beginning.” \nJoining Peterson onstage are veteran musicians keyboard player/flutist Leonard Shaw\, lead guitarist Will Evankovich\, bass legend Rudy Sarzo\, and lead vocalist/guitarist Derek Sharp. Together the quintet annually launches an ambitious North American tour to adoring audiences and selling out venues with their awe-inspiring execution\, deft meticulousness and decades of radio penetrating smashes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h3″][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITY[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

It was the only Gilbert & Sullivan operetta to have its world premiere in the United States and it has remained popular both here and throughout the English speaking world ever since. Gilbert’s wit (always incisive but never vicious or dated) and Sullivan’s memorable score (including the original tune from which “Hail\, hail the gang’s all here” is drawn) are among the most valuable treasures of musical theater history. \nPatter songs are a Gilbert & Sullivan trademark and Pirates features the most famous of them all\, “I am the very model of a modern Major-General.” This jaunty tune has been cleverly set to different words countless times (Tom Lehrer’s element song a notable example) and used in commercials to sell every-thing from Campbells soup to Handi-wipes\, cars\, newspapers and other items. Pirates also contains some of Gilbert’s most famous lyrics such as the often used quotation “a policeman’s lot is not a happy one” from the act two lament of the diffident “men in blue.” Other highlights of the show include “For I am a Pirate King”\, the pirates’ “Here’s a first rate opportunity”\, the policemen’s “When the foeman bears his steel” and Mabel’s show stopping coloratura aria “Poor wand’ring one”. \nThe plot of Pirates centers on the dilemma of young Frederic who\, as a child\, was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his twenty first birthday. Since he was born in leap year on February 29\, he is honor bound to remain a pirate until the distant date of 1940\, despite his moral objection to piracy. Helping Frederic to deal with this unusual predicament are the brash Pirate King\, Ruth – the pirate maid-of-all-work\, romantic Mabel\, and the delightfully stuffy Major-General Stanley.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h3″][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITY[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.
