The Celebrity Series of Boston has announced its 2017–2018 concert season, and among the artists performing through the acclaimed series at venues in and around Boston next season are four Nonesuch artists: Chris Thile, Jeremy Denk, Audra McDonald, and Joshua Redman.

Chris Thile is the first among the Nonesuch artists to perform in the new season, presenting An Evening with Chris Thile at the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge on Tuesday, November 21. This season, Thile, Yo-Yo Ma, and Edgar Meyer begin a US tour performing music from their new album, Bach Trios, with a sold-out show at Boston's Symphony Hall this Friday for the Celebrity Series. (Ma will also perform in the series' next season with a different trio, Emanuel Ax and Leonidas Kavakos, at Symphony Hall in February.)

Jeremy Denk helps ring in the New Year with a duo concert with violinist Stefan Jackiw, performing the complete Ives violin sonatas at the New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall on Friday, January 26, 2018. Denk will introduce the program, and the singers of Hudson Shad will perform various hymns and songs that Ives quotes in the sonatas.

Audra McDonald sings at Boston's Symphony Hall on lucky Friday, April 13, 2018. Still to come in April 2017, McDonald performs at the Rose Theater in New York City this Wednesday as part of Jazz at Lincoln Center's annual Gala, this year celebrating Ella Fitzgerald at 100.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
