Things To Do in Boston This Weekend: November 14-November 16

The weekend events in Boston offer live entertainment across genres and stages. From "John Fogerty: The Legacy Tour" and "Eliane Elias — The Art of Bossa Nova" to George Balanchine's "Jewels" at the Boston Ballet, audiences can experience everything from classic rock and smooth jazz to timeless dance. If you're craving fun and excitement, make sure to check out the variety of Boston activities this weekend with your family and friends.

"John Fogerty: The Legacy Tour" celebrates one of rock's longest-standing voices as the frontman of the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fans can expect a powerful, energy-filled evening of timeless songs, including "Proud Mary," "Fortunate Son," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain." With an amazing live band behind him, John Fogerty's unmistakable vocals and storytelling will take the audience on an unforgettable journey through decades of classic American rock.

George Balanchine's "Jewels" is a dazzling homage to neoclassical ballet that blends artistry, grace, and history into one spectacular evening. Following a trip to the jewelry store of Claude Arpels, Balanchine developed three ballets — "Emeralds," "Rubies," and "Diamonds" — to highlight his unique contributions to the dance style. With exquisite costumes designed by Madame Karinska and live music performed by the Boston Ballet Orchestra, "Jewels" exemplifies the beauty and timelessness of Balanchine's artistic innovation and performances that have set the stage for generations of dancers.

Multi-GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY Award winner Eliane Elias returns to the stage with her signature fusion of Brazilian rhythm, jazz mastery, and classical sophistication. With over 30 albums and millions of streams worldwide, she constantly pushes musical boundaries. Elias debuts original compositions sung in Portuguese and English on "Time and Again," her 2024 album, which celebrates her gifts as a pianist, vocalist, and composer.

The Boston weekend events this November bring an exciting mix of performances to the stage, from soulful jazz and timeless ballet to powerful plays and high-energy tribute concerts:
