Since her debut album, Diana Krall (performing Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 7 p.m.) has made her mark as a pianist and vocalist with a distinctive feel and an extraordinary sense of time. The Grammy-winner's latest album, Glad Rag Doll (produced by T Bone Burnett), is an exploration of songs from the '20s and '30s re-imagined for the 21st century. The album marks Krall's fifth consecutive Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200, and her current Glad Rag Doll Tour has drawn praise for its "wit, style and just a bit of attitude" (The Toronto Star).

Pink Martini performs their holiday concert on Monday, December 2, 2013 at 8 p.m. Unparalleled purveyors of a multi-lingual blend of cosmopolitan sounds, the band delivers a festive holiday concert featuring songs from around the globe. Led by bandleader Thomas Lauderdale, the Portland, Oregon, based band will feature tracks from their phenomenal 2010 holiday album, Joy to the World, which featured chestnuts like "White Christmas" alongside Hebrew prayers, Chinese New Year tunes and a samba-inspired version of "Auld Lang Syne."

The Blind Boys of Alabama perform their holiday show, Go Tell It on the Mountain on Friday, December 13, 2013 at 8 p.m. The ensemble's performance is a roof-raising musical event. Mixing gospel-tinged versions of seasonal favorites with some of the treasures from their extensive repertoire, the Blind Boys share their love of music-making in a joyous evening of soul stirring music.

The San Francisco Symphony takes the Mondavi Center stage for a third performance in the 2013-14 season on Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 8 p.m. Acclaimed Dutch conductor Jaap van Zweden, Musical America's 2012 Conductor of the Year, makes his Mondavi Center debut with Tchaikovsky's impassioned Fourth Symphony. Van Zweden's compatriot and protégé, Simone Lamsma, is the soloist in Sibelius's hot-blooded Violin Concerto in D Minor.

The Chieftains perform Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 8 p.m. Filled with exceptional musicianship and the pageantry of visiting dancers and pipe bands, the band is recognized for bringing traditional Irish music to the world's attention. The six-time Grammy winners are still led by Paddy Moloney, who formed the band from the ranks of the top Irish musicians in 1962.

The Mondavi Center's 2013-14 season runs from September 21, 2013-May 18, 2014 and features classical music legends, jazz greats, American icons and the best in theatre, dance, circus and more.
