Salem’s Unitarian Universalist Congregation is kicking off a virtual concert series Tuesday with a performance incorporating jazz classics and Jewish liturgical tunes.
Sarah Saul Combo, a Salem jazz quartet, will perform Tuesday from 7-8:30 p.m. on YouTube.
The “Celebrating Diversity Music Concerts” series will continue with a monthly offering held either Tuesday or Friday evening through June 2022. The series is coordinated by the congregation’s music department.
“We want to support the musical community in and around Salem. This varied lineup will help celebrate our community’s cultural diversity with live streamed music,” said Kit Abrahamson, the series planner, in a prepared statement.
Tuesday’s concert will feature the combo’s “take on Jewish melodies and compositions,” according to a press release, including liturgical music and jazz written by Jewish composers. Other concerts include Japanese taiko drumming in May, and a performance by Salem’s Uhuru Youth Choir in February.
Tickets for each performance are $5, with a discount for a series pass. More information and tickets are available at the congregation website.
