Get ready to raise your voice and your spirits with "Sister Act" — the feel-good musical comedy that’s pure divine inspiration! When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she’s hidden away in the last place she ever expected — a convent. Disguised as a nun, Deloris turns the choir into a soulful sensation, bringing joy, music and a little bit of mischief to the sisters and the community around them.
Free. More info at Get Tickets. Also at 2:00 on Saturday.
Acclaimed vocalist Amanda King presents the Supper Club Sessions, bringing the elegance, intimacy and excitement of the supper-club era vividly into the present.

On the 15th, "Velvet & Fire," driving rhythms and powerhouse melodies that command the room.

Reservations required.

The string quartet Fiddle & Fern Ensemble will perform works by Cole Porter, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, and other masters of Latin jazz. Beloved standards will be reimagined through the warm, intimate sounds of two violins, a viola, and a cello. Syncopated rhythms, lush harmonies, and expressive improvisatory influences will transform the concert hall into a world of swing, samba, bossa nova, and beyond.
Performing are Arturo Hernández Gómez, James Anderson, David Warner, and Adrianna Shaw. Tickets must be purchased online.

Richard Nihil is the singer-songwriter behind I Am Hologram. For this show, expect a restless acoustic set of psychedelic folk and dirtbag poetry, shaped by years on the road (47 states!) and more than 145,000 miles in a minivan.
