Classic Albums Live and its roster of A-list musicians perform Pink Floyd’s seminal album, note for note, cut for cut.

“The Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973. It was everywhere. The album cover prism was drawn on countless school binders. We started paying attention to the sound of cash registers. Having a good stereo system was a thing.

Classic Albums Live knows how to perform this album. It’s complex and full of soul. Just getting the alarm clocks together was a feat. All the little voices. Then you had to find someone that could sing ‘The Great Gig in the Sky.’ We did, and it’s joyous.

The musicians care about this album. It was our flagship show in 2003. It’s the album that changed everything. It’s a masterpiece that will be remembered forever.”

-Craig Martin
Founder, Classic Albums Live

Come down to the Burlington Rotary Centennial Pond for some DJ Throw Back Thursdays, with lights, music, free hot chocolate and cookies.

If your "throwback" includes younger parents and older kids, the early 2000's are perfect for skating.

In the intricate dance of life, there’s a prolonged performance, a metaphorical Burn Baby, Burn, where our collective actions fuel the rise in global temperature. This dance reflects humanity’s reluctance to confront climate change, captivating yet carrying dangerous consequences.

The dance is captivating, intoxicating, and truly enjoyable, portraying beauty amidst its fiery chaos. It’s like watching a mesmerizing explosion, both strangely beautiful and tragically compelling.

While this fire may consume aspects of our civilization, it might ultimately be a positive shift, acknowledging our harmful impact on the planet. The idea of fire as a symbol of passion and intensity is woven throughout the performance, reminding us of the power within us to spark change, but also the danger of letting it spiral out of control.

Nine performers captivate the audience with their dynamic range of movements that encompass extreme physicality, serene delicacy, untamed exuberance, and moments of levity.

Informed by his classical ballet vocabulary, Côté’s choreography contours space with resonant geometries and fervent human connections. Contemporary lines and forms with a sleek edge and refined athleticism give his work a bracing quality.
