Boston Camerata - "Sing We Noel" - A much-loved Camerata holiday program returns two generations later! We celebrate Christmas in the English speaking world down through the centuries, with wonderful songs and carols from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to early America. While most music presented here is artmusic — transcribed from old manuscripts and prints — the means of expression are generally direct and simple, with a strong folk and popular vein. Camerata’s top soloists, voices and instruments, offer a unique experience at year’s end. Thursday, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m. Tickets: $40.

"The Asphalt Jungle" - (1950; 1 hour, 52 minutes) - Recently released from prison, Dix Handley (Sterling Hayden) concocts a plan to steal $1 million in jewels. Dix gathers a team of small-time crooks, including a safecracker (Anthony Caruso) and a lawyer (Louis Calhern), and the heist is a success until a stray bullet kills one of the men. As they scramble to pick up the pieces after the theft, the men let their greed get the best of them while entangling themselves in webs of deceit, treachery and murder. John Huston directs this grandaddy of all heist films starring Sterling Hayden and Marilyn Monroe. Nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography. Playing Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets: $10 adult, $7 LT members and Youth. FREE for Classic Film Club Members.
