The Cassandra Voss Center (CVC) at St. Norbert College will hold its ninth annual anniversary concert on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in the Walter Theatre of the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts. The concert will feature Yesterday & Today, an entertaining interactive Beatles experience focused on recreating the music, energy and spirit of the world's most popular band.

Anchored by brothers Billy and Matthew McGuigan, Yesterday & Today does away with the worn out tribute-band format of bad wigs and fake accents. Instead, they perform as themselves and leave song choices up to the audience. Prior to the show, audience members write down their names, favorite Beatles songs, and the reasons for their song choices request cards. Minutes before the show, the band forms a set list based on the cards. The evening’s narrative includes audience members’ reasons for choosing songs, adding depth, meaning, humor and fun to the entire experience.

All proceeds from the concert and additional donations will support the CVC’s programming efforts and scholarships. Tickets are $60 and can be purchased from the St. Norbert College box office by calling 920-403-3950 or visiting https://www.snc.edu/tickets/.

The Cassandra Voss Center was built in 2013 to honor the life of Cassandra J. Voss, who died in a car accident in 2007, at the age of 21, during her senior year at St. Norbert College. Voss was on track to be the first St. Norbert student to complete an individualized major in women’s and gender studies.

The center provides a collaborative learning environment for the study of women and gender using an integrated educational approach connecting theory, research, experiential learning and co-curricular development.
