See 6 Thursday. Today: This legendary 86-year-old gospel, soul, and R&B diva possesses a quintessentially gospel voice. With a trademark blend of muscular power and shimmering grace punctuated at times with a startling growl, her luminous singing is designed to, in her words, “leave people feeling better than I found them.” Her 2025 solo album, Sad and Beautiful World, a fierce and loving dispatch for grim times, appeared on several critics’ year-end lists. Opener: Brooklyn singer-guitarist Mei Semones performs jazz-influenced indie pop originals with lyrics in both Japanese and English. 11:30 a.m., Michigan Theater. Free (doors close when seats are full). marquee-arts.org/live-events.
