Fox Theater has a busy few months ahead of it with the announcement of four shows, including its Summer Concert Series.

Trumpeter Herb Alpert, former leader of the Tijuana Brass, will perform with vocalist/wife Lani Hall, the former lead singer of Sergio Mendes’s Brasil ‘66, July 27. James Bond fans might recognize Hall as the voice behind the title song to “Never Say Never Again.” Tickets are $38-$48.
