Diana Ross will headline the 35th annual Montreal Jazz Festival this summer along with the singer-songwriters Rufus Wainwright and Bobby McFerrin and the Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. It will be Ms. Ross’s first appearance at the festival, and in addition to performing, she will be the recipient of the Ella Fitzgerald Award, which celebrates the repertory, range and versatility of international jazz singers. Other acts include the pianist Alain Lefèvre, who will be accompanied by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra; and the singer-songwriter Ben Harper with the blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite. The festival is to be held from June 26 to July 6. For a full lineup: montrealjazzfest.com.
