The concert on Saturday night celebrated Streisand’s release of a new album of jazz standards and classics Love Is The Answer.

As previously announced, Streisand will auction more than 400 personal items to benefit her charity, The Streisand Foundation, on October 17 and 18 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. She will be selling costumes from her films, including a dress from Funny Lady and a robe from The Way We Were, as well as items from her many homes. Highlights from the sale will be exhibited aboard the Queen Mary 2 during its trans-Atlantic cruise this month and then in Ireland and New York before landing in Beverly Hills.

Streisand appeared on Broadway in I Can Get It For You Wholesale and Funny Girl. Her films include Funny Girl, Funny Lady, Yentl, and Nuts. She has won the Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy Awards, a special Tony Award, and is a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor.
