Welcome back to Field Notes, your cultural guide to what’s on where. Focusing on concerts, exhibitions and talks linked to the region Journeys Beyond Borders covers - that is roughly Eastern Europe to Central Asia - it’ll arrive at your inbox every other Monday.

Christmas might be coming but Field Notes is not slowing down, for this week’s particularly musical instalment we’ve got: a classic Russian opera in London, patchwork masterpieces on show in Boston, Ukrainian Christmas carols in one of New York’s oldest churches, new Polish jazz to look forward to plus a stylish NYE concert in Istanbul.
