The St. Ignatius Concert Series presents: ISHNA

Get ready for a foot-stompin' good time with Boston-based contemporary Irish band, ISHNA! Ishna was founded in Dublin Ireland by husband-and-wife team Ciaran and Tara. After moving to Boston in 2012, they put this group of musicians together in 2015. Oddly enough, they met all of the players separately, and none of them through playing Irish music (jazz, musical theater, classical, and Italian folk music)! Over the past decade, the group has evolved, honing in specifically on the acoustic traditional music of Ireland, while finding ways to allow each band member to bring their unique musical vocabulary into the overall sound. Join us on Friday, March 13 at 7:00pm at St. Ignatius Parish in Chestnut Hill! Tickets are FREE, with a suggested $20 donation. Every dollar donated goes directly back to the series and the artists that you see and hear on stage every month! Every donation is greatly appreciated!

St. Ignatius Concert Series presents: Hot Club Jazz, featuring Grammy-nominated trumpeter Rich Kelley

his year is coming in HOT with the return of our resident jazz-combo Manouche Urbain and the Concert Series debut of trumpeter Richard Kelley. The career of Grammy-nominated trumpeter Richard Kelley is not only a testament to the versatility of his instrument, but also the ability of one individual to excel across the broadest possible range of music. From Symphony Orchestras and chamber music, to jazz, studio work, and Broadway shows, Mr. Kelley has built a formidable track record of working at the highest level of the profession. His work can be heard on a variety of recordings, from national commercials for Pepsi and IBM, to the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning soundtrack to Disney’s Pocahontas. He has collaborated with artists across multiple genres including Andrea Bocelli, Yoyo Ma, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Set MacFarlane, Boston (the band), Jimmy Page, Steven Tyler, John Williams, and Danny Elfman. A Boston native, Mr. Kelley performs regularly with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, Boston Philharmonic, and other surrounding orchestras. He has also performed with the Metropolitan Opera, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the New York Pops, and many other orchestral ensembles. From 1987-1994 he was a member of the groundbreaking Meridian Arts Ensemble-the first brass quintet ever to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild competition. Come hear for yourself on Friday, January 23 at St. Ignatius Parish in Chestnut Hill at 7:00pm (doors will open at 6:30pm)! Like all of our concerts, this concert is FREE to attend, with a suggested $20 donation. Join us and get your groove on!
