Pasadena, CA<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Principal Pops Conductor\u00a0Michael Feinstein<\/strong>\u00a0puts down the conducting baton and picks up the microphone for one night only to sing a\u00a0Tribute to Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra\u00a0<\/strong>on\u00a0Saturday, July 27\u00a0<\/strong>at the\u00a0Los Angeles County Arboretum<\/strong>. An old-fashioned crooner with luxuriant vocals that meld the traditions of old and new, Feinstein has been dubbed the \u201cAmbassador of the Great American Songbook\u201d for his preserving, presenting and interpreting that seminal body of work. The multi-platinum-selling, Emmy and Grammy Award-nominated entertainer has curated an evening filled with tunes from these legendary singers in quintessential Feinstein fashion. Hear timeless classics from\u00a0\u201cThe Best is Yet to Come\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0\u201cI Left My Heart in San Francisco\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0\u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cNew York, New York,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>topped off with Michael\u2019s personal behind-the-music stories about time spent with these larger-than-life personas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think of the great male singers of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0and 21st<\/sup>\u00a0centuries, inevitably the first names that come to mind are Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. They both had extraordinary voices that had the ability to make us feel every word and syllable they sang very deeply. They addressed social issues through the music and lyrics they gave us, and they were also wildly entertaining. Both of these men were great storytellers and great entertainers, and I’m looking forward to exploring their legacy with you.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Michael Feinstein<\/em><\/p>\n
