The Last King is not your average metal band, with powerful lyrics and technical instrumentation comes one of New England’s most unique local acts. With a mission statement of: keeping the underground community alive and bringing metalheads together, it’s quite clear that TLK embraces its influence from many different genres including all styles of heavy music.

Formed in the winter of 2014, TLK have been performing around the Northeast for over 6 years, have released several albums, and continue to push the boundaries of heavy music with each release. The band just dropped their highly anticipated third album entitled, “The New Age” on July 2nd, 2021. The album dives deep into many concepts found in the present day world including corruption, greed, decision-making, and survival while incorporating a storyline about characters witnessing a society experiencing its long-awaited downfall. TLK will be performing their new album "The New Age" in its entirety on 9/18 for a special album release livestream/extended performance for fellow concertgoers!

The band was supposed to embark on a Northeast-Midwest tour followed by a second leg East-coast run last year however those plans were cancelled due to covid. As soon as dates are eligible for rescheduling those shows will hopefully be honored at a later date. Until then TLK will be honored to give fans the opportunity to hear their entire new album in full on 9/18 with livestream capabilities to connect with even more fans across the nation!

Grammy award-winning songwriter and musician Aoife O'Donovan is one of the most sought-after singers and songwriters of her generation. She has released three critically-acclaimed solo albums, is co-founder of the bands I’m With Her and Crooked Still, is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile, and spent a decade contributing to the radio variety shows Live From Here and A Prairie Home Companion.

Hawktail is a rising Americana “supergroup" and includes members of Crooked Still, Punch Brothers and the I’m with Her house band. Expect Aoife to sit in with them – and vice-versa.

“The star of the show for me is always O’ Donovan’s voice. She has a chill-inducing vocal that shines, haunting you with each word and phrase she spins within the loom of her storied songs. Evocative and siren-like, smoke-tinged but tender and inviting. There is a curiosity and tempting nature to her honeyed voice. It dances elegantly above simple, but fitting arrangements. A romance seeps into the cracks of each strum of the acoustic guitar or fiddle cry and while O’Donovan has a range that is enviable to most, she elevates and opens it only at moments when it is most needed for full impact. Beauty embodied and realized, simple as that.” - Brian Carroll, Red Line Roots

The Lost Leonardo is the inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million. From the moment the painting is bought for $1175 at a shady New Orleans auction house, and the restorer discovers masterful Renaissance brushstrokes under the heavy varnish of its cheap restoration, the Salvator Mundi's fate is determined by an insatiable quest for fame, money and power. As its price soars, so do the questions about its authenticity: is this painting really by Leonardo da Vinci? Unravelling the hidden agendas of the richest men and the most powerful art institutions in the world, The Lost Leonardo reveals how vested interests in the Salvator Mundi are of such tremendous power that truth becomes secondary.

Their goal is to engage with audiences on a musical and emotional level, and to share the complex history and powerful legacy of this American art form throughout the country and the world.

Dance your way through the 80's, 90's, 00's-present. DJ cRAIG mITCHELL will take you on a journey via the biggest hits of the decades starting in the 80"s and ending in the present.

cRAIG mITCHELL, a.k.a. oLIVERtWISTED, a founding member of the chart-topping production team The Orange Factory, fathered and cultivated the dance music scene in Burlington, Vermont, where he went to Saint Michaels College after moving from Saginaw Michigan...near the birthplace of techno, Detroit, Michigan. With nearly 30 years behind the decks, cRAIG has served as a resident at New York City's legendary Tunnel and has played the country's most celebrated venues and club nights. He has rocked crowds alongside such tastemakers as Chris Fortier, Peter Rauhofer, Honey Dijon, Manny Ward and Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), amongst others. cRAIG, also, started and ran MIND TRAIN RECORDS for Yoko Ono, which delved into her back catalog ond put the vocals to dance beats, which yielded several Top 10 Billboard Dance Hits, including Walking on Thin Ice, which landed her at #1.

One experience with cRAIG behind the tables, belting out one of his tracks LIVE during his sets, while dancing continuously in the booth, on stage performing his one man show, "Do Unto Others" or with his 7 piece band, PURPLE, his acoustic project, CRAIGEN, or San Mateo, which is a project featuring Matt Burr of Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, and you'll understand why his shows are so well attended and recieved. Unlike many of today's DJ's who are so focused on their mix, that they forget about the VIBE...the GROOVE, cRAIG is not just a DJ, he is a performer, a preacher, and activist...a VOICE. As Prince would say... cRAIG IS music, but so much more. Get INTO it!

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah, represents a glorious collision of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion, and the roots/old-time/country music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.”

Amythyst Kiah endlessly redefines the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, Kiah gracefully interlaces social commentary and personal revelation, ultimately offering a raw yet poetic and nuanced examination of grief, alienation, and the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance.

The Chattanooga-bred singer/songwriter is also a member of Our Native Daughters—a women-of-color supergroup that includes Rhiannon Giddens, Allison Russell and Leyla McCalla. Their performance of Kiah’s Black Myself, earned a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards.

Saving Vice are an independent, two-vocalist American metalcore band from Vermont founded by guitarist Robbie Litchfield. Litchfield added vocalist Chase Papariello to the band first and then vocalist Tyler Small shortly thereafter. It wasn't until later on that the band included the final pieces of their lineup, drummer Sam Whelton and bassist Kenjamin Smiertelny.

Since their official start in 2017, Saving Vice have shared the stage with many impressive acts and played on multiple festivals such as Warped Tour, iMatter Festival and Heavy Fest. The group’s high energy live performance, catchy choruses, and hard-hitting riffs aided by the chemistry created by the vocalist duo helped them make their mark on the New England music scene and beyond.

The sound, energy and personality Saving Vice have brought to the current heavy music scene is both refreshing and nostalgic. Their sound is reminiscent of classic, 2009 metalcore balanced with the modern genre trend. Emotional and melodic, yet unapologetically brutal and dark.

Opening act Gaslighter is a newly formed Hardcore/Deathcore outfit from the Northeast United States. Bringing a fresh new take on venous music for spiteful people, the band promises unrelenting energy and uncompromising aggression in their sound and performances. Young, hungry, and passionate about their message, Gaslighter is one of the fastest growing newcomers in the New England Metal scene in quite a while.

Featuring Jake Clark on vocals, Joe Chubbuck and Ricky Webster on Guitar, Tyler Jackson on Drums, and Jonny Francis on Bass.

Shake & Holla will feature foot-stomping Mississippi "hill country" blues and the funky, syncopated sounds of New Orleans brass. Touring together for the first time, the Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award-winning North Mississippi All-Stars will be joined by the legendary Rebirth Brass Band in a musical celebration of two great southern musical traditions. Steeped deeply in their own traditions, both artists also are part of the vanguard of blues and soul music.

Grammy-nominated blues guitarist, vocalist, and drummer Cedric Burnside, provides the icing to the cake for this collaboration. Grandson of legendary Fat Possum recording artist RL Burnside, he will weave in and out of this special evening as these artists play their own favorite selections and collaborate on a grab bag of songs that explore the musical connection between the Mississippi Delta and Bourbon Street...right down Highway 61.

“New Orleans horns, raw and funky… exhilarating and full throttle.” - New York Times.

“Cedric Burnside's set at Lizotte's was like opening Pandora's box on the blues; out flew some music so rare, so soulful, so close to the bones it would make you shiver if you first heard back where it came from, the hill country of north Mississippi.” – New Castle Herald

★★★★★ ‘Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production.’ (Daily Telegraph)

Captured live from London’s West End in 2018, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of King Lear in cinemas.

Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.

Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play.

One summer's evening, two ageing writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst's stately house nearby. As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men.

The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, who attempts to harness the power of music to rescue his beloved Eurydice from the underworld, has inspired composers since opera’s earliest days. Rising American composer Matthew Aucoin now carries that tradition into the 21st century with a captivating new take on the story. With a libretto by MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Sarah Ruhl, adapted from her acclaimed 2003 play, the opera reimagines the familiar tale from Eurydice’s point of view. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium, leading Aucoin’s evocative music and an immersive new staging by Mary Zimmerman. Soprano Erin Morley sings the title role, opposite baritone Joshua Hopkins as Orpheus and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński as his otherworldly alter ego.

Emmy-winning comedian Paula Poundstone is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity, drawing from her own complex life: three kids, 13 cats, motherhood, demanding job, crazy travel schedule, her frustration at getting older, and a bag of neuroses, including her famous inability to ever shut up. Then, add a year in quarantine and imagine the outcome.

In other words: she’s just like many of us.

One of Comedy Central’s “Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time,” Paula Poundstone was a frequent guest on Leno, Letterman and A Prairie Home Companion. And she remains a leading staple of NPR’s show, Wait Wait! Don’t Tell Me! Poundstone is so quick that audience members often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter.

“Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a jazz musician, swinging in unexpected directions without a net.” – Boston Globe

In 1965 writer/activist James Baldwin and conservative arbiter William F. Buckley, Jr. were invited to the UK’s Cambridge University Union to debate the resolution “The American Dream is at the Expense of The American Negro.” The groundbreaking Obie-winning NYC theater troupe, Elevator Repair Service, re-creates Baldwin and Buckley's profoundly relevant confrontation in Baldwin and Buckley at Cambridge.

The rapt audience at the Cambridge debate match voted Baldwin the winner by a vote of 544-164. Despite the victory, Baldwin felt stung by the encounter, calling Buckley “the intellectuals' James Bond.” Buckley, never one to admit defeat, called the night at Cambridge, "the most satisfying debate I ever had.”

Baldwin and Buckley at Cambridge had its first work-in-progress showings in January of 2020 at Abrons Art Center’s Underground Theater. Our staging will be a virtual presentation recorded at Montclair State College - followed by a live interactive virtual conversation/Q & A with the show’s director, John Collins and actors, including April Matthis, Gavin Price, Greig Sargeant, Christopher Rashee Stevenson and Ben Williams.

Founded in 1991 by Artistic Director John Collins, Elevator Repair Service (ERS) creates original works with an ongoing ensemble. ERS’s theater pieces are built round a broad range of subject matter and literary forms; they combine elements of slapstick comedy, hi-tech and lo-tech design, both literary and found text, and the group’s own highly developed style of choreography.

ERS creates its performances through extended periods of collaboration. A typical development cycle includes 4-6 intensive work periods within a 2-year period, which conclude with work-in-progress showings. Time off between development is filled with touring and presentations of finished works. Following completion, the piece is presented in NYC for an extended run and is toured throughout the US and abroad.

ERS creations include their critically-acclaimed 2010 production of Gatz, adapted from the Great Gatsby. Lead NY Times theater critic, Ben Brantley called it “The most remarkable achievement in theater not only of this year but also of this decade.”

"The famous Baldwin-Buckley debate still matters today. In 1965, two American titans faced off on the subject of the country’s racial divides. Nearly 55 years later, the event has lost none of its relevance.”—The Atlantic

Founded in 1945 on the heels of postwar Polish independence in Gdańsk, the Polish Baltic Philharmonic is the largest music institution in northern Poland. One might think that long periods of political turbulence may have weakened the arts in Gdańsk, yet the reality is quite the opposite. The Polish Baltic Philharmonic, as it exists and thrives today, represents an amalgamation of international and historical influences, while still capturing the pride and artistry of contemporary Poland and the larger Baltic Sea coast.

This feast of orchestra music will include Rossini’s Overture to La Gazza Ladra (The Silken Ladder); Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35; and Beethoven’s Symphony no 5.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen and heard such clarity. The common idea was upheld by the exceptionally beautiful sound of the orchestra adjusted by the conductor to the musical poetry of the soloist”. — Gazeta Wyborcza

Aretha Franklin’s legendary career spanned several generations and a multitude of genres. “The Queen of Soul” grew up in the Baptist congregations of Detroit, where she first developed her talent for expressive and powerful vocals that propelled her to international stardom. Beloved by musicians and listeners alike, Aretha is recognized as the most successful female recording artist in history with 112 charted singles on Billboard, 18 Grammy Awards, and more than 75 million records sold.

Musician, vocalist, and composer Damien Sneed toured with Aretha during her later years, developing a strong relationship with the soul legend. In this special tribute, Sneed pays homage to the monarch herself with fresh renditions of her most cherished hits including Respect, Knew You Were Waiting, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Precious Memories, Think, Until You Come Back To Me, Daydreaming, Freeway, Natural Woman, and others. Backed by a stellar cast of jazz, gospel, and soul musicians and vocalists, Damien Sneed’s multi-media tribute offers a tender and spiritual reflection upon the life of an iconic music titan.

Four-time Grammy Award-winner Karen Clark Sheard will sing Franklin’s iconic songs, showing a deep reverence to Franklin’s talent while endowing them with her own power. A gospel music legend, Sheard is renowned for her signature, one-of-a-kind multi-octave vocal range and ability. Her musical style, as a solo artist and with the acclaimed Clark Sisters, has inspired today’s brightest pop divas, among them Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, and Faith Evans. Like Sneed, Clark also collaborated and performed with Aretha Franklin, who became her cherished mentor.

“A soprano of great range in pitch and tone, from elegant to guttural, Karen Clark Sheard brings depth and flexibility, with constant invention, singing about destiny and power, sometimes sliding into testifying…there are extended sequences, not just moments when a listener can start to worry: Do I deserve such riches?” — Ben Ratliff, New York Times

Since marrying in 2002, two of Canada’s brightest stars have been captivating audiences all over North America with their exceptional musical skills and obvious joy at playing the fiddle together. Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy have received both industry-acclaim and a loyal fan base by combining their magnificent individual talents, giving audiences an unforgettable musical experience every performance.

Being part of musical families, Natalie and Donnell were born into their musical careers. Hailing from Cape Breton Island, Natalie received her first fiddle at the age of nine, launching a career that has lasted for more than 30 years. Her first recording was released when she was only 16 and she has never looked back. MacMaster's many projects include collaborations with Alison Krauss, Carlos Santana, the Chieftains, Paul Simon, Pavarotti, and Yo-Yo Ma. Her live performances are a testament to her incandescent musicianship and boundless energy, featuring foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-rending ballads, and world-class step dancing.

Perfecting his astonishing talent since the age of three, Donnell has literally spent his entire life with a fiddle in his hand. His parents, a fiddle-playing father from Ontario and a step-dancing mother from Cape Breton, were his source of inspiration and guidance. His mesmerizingly exultant and high-energy performances have become Donnell Leahy’s musical signature.

“Flying notes, fast-paced jigs, reels and polkas, paint can percussion and Gaelic lyrics, original music and tunes from Scotland, Ireland, the Maritimes, and elsewhere, piano, bagpipes, guitar, accordion, and of course fiddles: all those, in the hands and spirits of these gifted musicians.” — Music Road

For the last thirty-two years, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess at such arts as trick-cycling, precision tumbling, juggling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They push the limits of human ability, defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and

The Peking Acrobats are part of a time-honored Chinese tradition, rooted in centuries of Chinese history and folk art. Tradition demands that each generation of acrobats add its own improvements and embellishments; because of this, high honor is conferred upon those skilled enough to become acrobats. The Peking Acrobats seek to uphold this rich and ancient folk art tradition, bringing it to new technical heights while integrating twenty-first century technology.

The Peking Acrobats have been featured on television shows including Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous, Ellen’s Really Big Show (hosted by Ellen DeGeneres), The Wayne Brady Show, That’s Incredible, ABC’s Wide World of Sports, and NBC’s Ring In The New Year Holiday Special. They set the world record for the Human Chair Stack on FOX Network’s Guinness Book Primetime television show in 1999: they balanced six people precariously atop six chairs twenty-one feet up in the air without safety lines, astounding audiences with their bravery and dexterity. They were featured in Steven Soderbergh’s hit film Ocean’s Eleven playing alongside Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Peking Acrobats’ alumnus Shaobo Qin also appeared in that film’s two sequels, Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen.

“The Peking Acrobats are pushing the envelope of human possibility, combining agility and grace in remarkable feats of pure artistry.” —Clive Davis, New York Post.

The Queen’s Cartoonists are 6 world-class jazz players who perform fabulous and often funny music for classic cartoons and contemporary animation. The stars are the musicians – along with Betty Boop, Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny, Popeye the Sailor and more. The performances are synchronized to video projections of the original films, and the band leads the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy.

Behind the project is a single question: Is it possible to create jazz and classical music in the 21st century that appeals to everyone? Even people who normally wouldn’t go to concerts? The Queen’s Cartoonists present a concert for everybody – regardless of age, gender, or anything else.

Tying this diverse concert together are comedic anecdotes involving the cartoons and their composers. This band is on a musical mission of equal parts performance, preservation, and education. Expect the unexpected from a repertoire that includes the Golden Age of animation, cult cartoon classics, modern animation, and elements of a musical circus. Then add a special focus on cartoons and music that celebrate the holidays!

Since their inception in 2015, The Queen’s Cartoonists have brought their unique sound to performing arts centers in more than 20 states and have opened for the New York Philharmonic and others. The 6 members, all currently living in Queens, New York, are world-class professional musicians. The band has been featured in numerous major publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, Mashable, and on NPR.

“As I watched The Queen’s Cartoonists slip and slide through decades of cartoon music, I followed a captivated crowd of young and old – the pleasure of the perfect synchrony of sound and pictures was instantly recognizable.” - Mashable

Its bestselling recordings have earned accolades including the Gramophone Award for Early Music, Diapason d’or de l’année, Edison Klassiek Award, and Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. The group has received three Grammy nominations, and performed live at the 60th Grammy Awards at Madison Square Garden. Based in London, Stile Antico has also appeared at many of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals. The group enjoys a particularly close association with Wigmore Hall, and has performed at the BBC Proms, Buckingham Palace, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Cité de la Musique, Luxembourg Philharmonie, and Leipzig Gewandhaus.

Stile Antico’s performances are often praised for their immediacy, expressive commitment, and their sensitive and imaginative response to text. These qualities arise from the group’s collaborative working style: members rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing artistically to the musical results. The group is also noted for its compelling programming, which seeks to draw out thematic connections between works to shine new light on Renaissance music.

When Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017, The Guardian declared, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” On June 4, this riveting contemporary masterpiece appears live in cinemas, with Neil Armfield, who directed the work’s premiere, bringing his acclaimed staging to the Met. Many of the original cast members have followed, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius, and legendary bass John Tomlinson as the ghost of Hamlet’s father.
