Joyce DiDonato will make her long awaited Boston recital debut this week in her first Celebrity Series performance.

Joined by five instrumentalists, DiDonato will perform arias and songs by Giordani, Paisiello, Marcello, Leon Russell, George Shearing, Duke Ellington, and others. Her accompanying jam band will consist of pianist, Craig Terry (piano), Chuck Israels (double bass), Jimmy Madison (drums), Lautaro Greco (bandoneon), and Charlie Porter (trumpet).

The performance will take place 8 p.m. Friday at Jordan Hall. celebrityseries.org; 617-482-6661
