AMERICAN SONGBOOK
by Joseph Pedro
Throughout its history, New York City’s
Lincoln Center has played host to the world’s most
impressive musical talents, and 2009 is no exception.
This year marks the 11th anniversary of the American
Songbook, an exquisite showcase of the best in popular
music. During the three-month run, world-renowned musicians
will mesmerize audiences with performances of folk, pop,
cabaret, R&B, country, rock, show tunes, and bluegrass.
With a rare solo concert by Tony Award-winner for South
Pacific, Paulo Szot, performances by vocalists Kurt Elling
and Patty Loveless, and Broadway and film stars Alan Cumming
and David Hyde Pierce, it is the perfect way to kick off
2009. The Allen Room at Lincoln Center will serve as the
perfect venue for this all-star lineup. January 14 through
March 6. www.lincolncenter.org
