An Evening with Michael Feinstein and Special Guest Melissa Manchester

The concert will be Feinstein’s first public performance – and the first Center Presents event with an on-site audience – in over a year. The two entertainers will perform individually and together, backed by a piano trio.

Feinstein, whose work as a singer, pianist, preservationist and ambassador of timeless popular music has earned him five Grammy Award nominations, is Artistic Director for the Center and Founder of the affiliated Great American Songbook Foundation. While taking a break from the road, he has been developing a podcast, Music and Madness, featuring unique recordings from his personal collection. His upcoming album, Gershwin Country, was recorded in Nashville with a roster of top country artists.

Manchester is perhaps best known for her Billboard Top 10 singles “Midnight Blue,” the Grammy-nominated “Don’t Cry Out Loud” and “You Should Hear How She Talks About You,” which won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her original songs have been recorded by artists including Barbra Streisand, Roberta Flack, Dusty Springfield, Alison Krauss and Kenny Loggins. She is re-recording several of her classics for her upcoming 24th album, RE:VIEW.
