The following announcement was provided by the Mosesian Center for the Arts:
The Mosesian Center for the Arts continues its acclaimed Chords and Cocktails jazz series with a powerhouse performer whose voice and songwriting have captivated audiences worldwide. On Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., Grammy Award-winning vocalist, pianist, and composer Nicole Zuraitis takes the stage in the Charles Mosesian Theater for an unforgettable evening of bold, contemporary jazz.
Zuraitis, winner of the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album, is widely recognized as one of today’s most compelling jazz artists. A fearless bandleader and magnetic live performer, she blends jazz, soul, pop, and singer-songwriter sensibilities into a sound that is both virtuosic and deeply personal. Her performances have electrified audiences at venues and festivals including Birdland, Newport Jazz Festival, and major stages across the country. As a composer and arranger, she brings a modern voice to the jazz tradition while honoring its roots.
With tour dates all over the U.S. and Europe this spring, the Mosesian Center for the Arts will host her only New England appearance.
Backed by an exceptional ensemble, Zuraitis delivers music that moves seamlessly between intimate lyricism and soaring, high-energy interplay. With her expressive piano playing, commanding stage presence, and emotionally resonant storytelling, she creates a live experience that is at once sophisticated, spontaneous, and powerfully human.
Chords and Cocktails marks an exciting chapter of live music at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, presenting world-class jazz in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. With exceptional artists, thoughtfully curated performances, and a focus on mood and musicianship, the series invites audiences to experience jazz as both art form and shared moment – up close, in an intimate setting.
