MUSIC: Serbian opera singer Jadranka Jovanovic is performing at the Kennedy Center tonight. The international star has had leading rolls in Carmen and Orfeo. You can watch one of her performances here. Free; 6 PM.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit darker, Catskill Mountain-natives the Felice Brothers are stopping by the Black Cat’s mainstage tonight. Their latest album, Celebration, Florida, which the AV Club says sounds “like a preacher in a whorehouse zigzags thrillingly off-course,” came out this May. You can listen to some of their tracks here. Tickets ($18) can be purchased through Ticket Alternative. Doors open at 8 PM.
