The concert features new arrangements of the New Yorker’s songs as well as classical and traditional vocal music, plus works by Gershwin and William Grant Still. Sunday, Jan. 30, at 7:30 p.m. Artisphere’s Spectrum Theatre, 1611 N. Kent St. Arlington. Tickets are $35. Call 703-875-1100 or visit artisphere.com.
