January Jazz Vespers:Daniela Spagnolo, John Chiodini & Bill CunliffeSunday, Jan. 13, 5:00 p.m. on the Chancel. If you could fuse together the lush, rich, vocal style of the
great female jazz singers from eras
gone by, with the current sound of jazz today—one might say that Daniela Spagnolo’s voice and original songs are a sublime example of just that. Guitarist and composer John Chiodini began his performing career in clubs, recording studios and theaters throughout New England. As a member of the Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler, John made numerous appearances in concerts and on recordings, including the long-running PBS televi-sion series “Evening At Pops.” Jazz pianist, Grammy Award-winning arranger and our composer-in-resi-dence Bill Cunliffe is widely known for his swinging and lyrical pianism and his creativity and invention as a composer and arranger of jazz. Mike Kinman offers a meditation. Child care and validated parking available. Information = [email protected].

The Judas Kiss revolves
around two pivotal moments in the life of Oscar Wilde: the day when, cajoled
by Bosie into an ill-fated trial, he decides to stay in England and face imprisonment, and a night when, after his release two years later, the lover for whom he risked everything betrays him again. David Hare’s masterful play pulses with the ecsta-sy and anguish of an enamored heart.Othello, Friday, March 29, 8:00 p.m. at A Noise Within. Tickets are $42 and available at: https://qrs.ly/5g98d2t. The Bard’s most intimate
of family tragedies about the terrible force of love and the breakdown of a man who has every-thing—power, position, and passion—only to find his world decimated through intense mind games with his ensign. Prescient in its searing social commentary of prejudice, betrayal, and thwarted ambition, Shakespeare’s thunderous drama examines who we trust and the price we pay for choosing wrong.Tickets available at the links above or at the Sign-Up Center beginning Jan. 6.
