WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Twice wasn't enough. Barbara Cook's two performances with the Philharmonic in November were complete sellouts, so they're getting together one more time to celebrate!
Soprano Barbara Cook turns 80 this year and celebrates this milestone birthday with a series of special concerts in Los Angeles, New York and London.
Her concerts with the New York Philharmonic mark the singer's first appearance with the New York Philharmonic in over twenty years, since she co-starred in the Philharmonic's now legendary concert production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies... The concerts feature her singing nearly two dozen songs by a legendary roster of composer and lyricists ranging from Sigmund Romberg, Harold Arlen and Kurt Weill to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Bacharach & David.
