Arturo Sandoval“Tribute to My Friend Dizzy Gillespie” and Latin musicArturo Sandoval is fl uent in at least four

musical languages. He can soothe you

with a luscious ballad, burn through an

Afro-Cuban groove, tear up a bebop tune,

and soar over a Mozart concerto, with

equal power and grace.

May 12

John Pizzarelli Quartetand Jane MonheitJohn Pizzarelli has established himself

as one of the prime interpreters of the

Great American Songbook and beyond,

bringing to his work the cool jazz fl avor

of his brilliant guitar playing and singing.

“Akinmusire and his band demonstrated a remarkably fl uid, adventurous interplay and patiently imaginative way with melody that sounded as steeped in the music’s history as it was hardwired with the sound of something new. With a chameleonic tone that can sigh, fl utter or soar, Akinmusire sounds less like a rising star than one that was already at great heights and just waiting to be discovered.” — Los Angeles Times 2011 “Faces to Watch”

“Blessed with an extraordinarily warm and supple voice, perfect pitch, inventive musicality and an insightful approach to storytelling, [Jane Monheit] has the capacity to express herself convincingly in virtually any area of the music world.”

— Los Angeles Times

March 8

Los Tigres del NorteLos Tigres del Norte has achieved worldwide success by becoming

immigrants. The unique lyrics of social conscience have endeared

Desk Award for her critically acclaimed performance

in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical Song and Dance.

Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her

Linda Eder with Tom WopatShowcasing one of the greatest contemporary voices of

our time, Linda Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway,

standards, pop, country and jazz. Eder possesses a

distinctive, unparalleled voice that has been thrilling

venues large and small for more than two decades.

action series that’s become part of American pop culture,

win top billing on Broadway marquees in award-winning

hit musicals, record solo albums featuring country

chart-makers and play the leading man in a hit situation

comedy. Tom Wopat’s fl exibility doesn’t seem to be a

matter of self-conscious role playing but an expression of

his far-reaching musical tastes and personal experience.

“As an actress, singer,

comedienne and

all-around warming

presence, Bernadette

Peters has no peer in

the musical theatre

right now.” —Frank Rich, The New York Times
