St. Barnabas Episcopal Parish and Music at St. Barnabas will present “Jazzin’ with the Classics for Christmas,” featuring soprano Linda Tsatsanis, jazz flutist, pianist and clarinetist Martin Lund, classical flutist Jeffrey Cohan and jazz bassist Nate Omdal at 7 p.m. Monday, Dece. 29 at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church.

The concert is free. The suggested donation will be $15 to $20, and those 18 and under are free.

In this festive program, four renowned classical and jazz artists meld their musical perspectives in an unusual collaboration and unique celebration of the Yuletide season that is guaranteed to generate an abundance of Christmas cheer. Tsatsanis, Lund, Cohan and Omdal will team up to bridge contemporary improvisational jazz and the “art music” of baroque and renaissance times.

Instrumental musicians have jazzed up melodies familiar to them in the style of their day for centuries, and this team’s virtuoso improvisations on Yuletide favorites, and their renditions of classical standards such as arias from Handel’s Messiah will bring together the best of jazz and classical worlds.

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church is at 1187 Wyatt Way.
