Pop Music
Nelly Furtado

From quirky singer to sexy siren

As the record industry crashes and burns around her, Nelly Furtado (right) -- whose "Get Loose" tour stops at Agganis Arena June 5 -- has become one of pop music's increasingly rare international success stories. (Joan Anderman)
World Music
Andy Palacio

A true cultural ambassador

By tracing his musical roots, Belizean singer-songwriter Andy Palacio (left) raises awareness of his people. He spreads the word about the Garifuna, and his latest album, "Watina," is enchanting. (Sarah Rodman)
Jazz

A Beehive of activity

The Beehive (right), the newest addition to the Boston jazz circuit located in the South End, will showcase performers from Berklee College of Music on its planned seven-nights-a-week live music schedule. (Siddhartha Mitter)
Folk Music
Eddi Reader

Her songs have a timelessness

Scottish singer Eddi Reader's (left) influences run from poetry to punk, and she should feel right at home at this summer’s adventurous, globe-trotting Irish Connections Festival. Her new album is titled ‘‘Peacetime." (Scott Alarik)
Theater
Jeff Zinn

Jeff Zinn (right) notes how seldom an artistic director can dictate the kind of space he wants to use, which he gets a chance to do at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater's new home on Route 6. (Louise Kennedy)

Ralph Smith

Merging detachment, intimacy

A series of life-size photographs by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, including this one of a male prostitute in LA in the '80s (left), will be shown in the Institute of Contemporary Art's first full-scale solo artist exhibition in its new building. (Ken Johnson)

Dutch Arts
ZAPP String Quartet

Old and new, but surely Dutch

This summer, the Berkshires will qualify as a cultural corner of Holland, playing host to NL: A Season of Dutch Arts in the Berkshires. The ZAPP String Quartet (left) will play MassMoCA as part the season.(Mark Feeney)
