Music at Guild Hall

Guild Hall’s summer season will close this weekend with two very different musical performances. Suzanne Vega, a singer-songwriter whose voice is as distinct as her music, will perform Saturday at 8 p.m. Details of her concert can be found elsewhere on this page.

The Doo Wop Project, whose music is rooted in the 1950s and 1960s, will give performances at 7 and 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. The idea for the project arose backstage at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City, home of the Broadway hit “Jersey Boys.” The concert will feature the music of the Four Seasons, obviously, but also songs by Smokey Robinson, which will be performed by Charl Brown, a Tony Award nominee from “Motown: The Musical.”

The group, which will be backed by a full band, will also give the Doo Wop treatment to more contemporary songs by Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Amy Winehouse, and Bruno Mars. Tickets for each show are $40 to $95, $38 to $90 for members.

Two nonmusical programs are coming up at Guild Hall. This afternoon at 4, Dick Cavett, Robert Caro, Carl Bernstein, and Dan Rattiner will be on hand for the presentation of the 2016 Dan’s Papers Literary Prize for Nonfiction and its Emerging Young Writers Prize for Nonfiction. The free program will be followed by a cocktail reception.

The Save the Waves Film Festival will take place tomorrow at 7 p.m. The evening will include short and feature-length surf films, music, a raffle, and a cash bar. Tickets range from $40 to $100, with higher price tickets including a 6 p.m. pre-party and reception for the filmmakers.
