If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses... think again.

They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold, over 1 billion streams on Pandora, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense... and with a sense of humor.

Join The Beach Boys’ co-founder Al Jardine for a night of classic hits, rarities & deep cuts of The Beach Boys. The evening will feature Matt Jardine and members of Brian Wilson’s Touring Band - The Pet Sounds Band. Al Jardine, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, is best known for being one of the founding members of The Beach Boys. After his family moved to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-50’s, Al met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and Mike Love, to form the band in 1961. Al played guitar, arranged and produced many songs and sang lead on the No. 1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda." In 1988, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy. In 2005, Al released Sloop John B: A Pirate’s Tale, a fun-filled adventure children’s book based on the classic folk song (and Beach Boys hit) of the same name.

The Weill Center is proud to present this original country artist, Sunny Sweeney. The mastery of holes in the wall, major label stint, and serious songwriting chops make Sunny Sweeney something of a rarity: an artist with barroom cred, mainstream validation, and songs meaty enough for listening rooms. Or, as Rolling Stone put it: “Sweeney is one of the rare entertainers who can hold her own at CMA Fest as well as AmericanaFest.” Just as comfortable commanding a stadium stage on tour with Bob Seger as she is pouring her heart out from a listening-room stool, she is an outlier: A humble East Texas kid with super-star chops, singing her own songs made up of equal parts wit, soul, and hard truth. Seven albums into a career that has earned praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Sunny has drawn a loyal following, experienced the business from every angle, and ultimately, embraced her independence––it's smart country music that likes to have its rock and honky tonk, too, and is that much better for it. Sweeney will release a new studio album in 2025 produced by Sweeney and Harley Husbands. Opening act to be announced!

Leonid & Friends have blown the minds of legions of fans with their uncanny ability to capture the spirit, musicality, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. Leonid Vorobyev's goal was a studio project in dedication to Chicago under the motto “musicians for musicians”. Their first video went viral, but they really gained traction when Chicago itself published the video on its official website. They have since expanded their repertoire to include Earth Wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Deep Purple, and new original material. This incredible 11-piece band now has over 1,000,000 followers across social media, an astonishing 250 million+ video views, and over 300 successful US shows under their belt. The future is only looking up for Leonid & Friends.

The timeless classic, Swan Lake, returns to the Weill Center. Swan Lake is a renowned ballet that has captivated audiences for generations. It tells the story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse, and Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with her. The ballet features graceful choreography, beautiful music from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and stunning costumes and sets. Swan Lake is an essential ballet in contemporary classical theatre, and its psychological depth remains relevant today. The ballet's classical elements are evident in its meticulously crafted structure, adherence to traditional dance styles, and the distinction between classical and character dance. Its psychological impact lies in its enigmatic exploration of duplicity and the profound themes of fate and destiny. This event is suitable for people of all ages, making it a perfect outing for families, ballet enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of classical arts. Attending the performance promises to be a delightful evening, immersing the audience in the enchanting world of ballet. You can secure your tickets in advance to ensure you don't miss out on this extraordinary experience. Make sure to mark your calendar and get your tickets today to witness the world-class ballet performance of Swan Lake by International Ballet Stars. It's an opportunity to indulge in the magic of classical arts and create lasting memories. Enjoy the show!
