Michael Feinstein in “Because of You” featuring the Carnegie Hall Ensemble

About This Event

Supported by the Carnegie Hall Ensemble, Michael Feinstein pays a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Tony Bennett, bringing his iconic songs to life in a symphony of sound. The performance will feature hits such as “Because of You,” “Rags to Riches,” “The Best Is Yet to Come,” and many more. Feinstein’s dynamic interpretations, coupled with the grandeur of the big band, will create an unforgettable night that honors the legacy of Bennett in all its glory.

Michael Feinstein’s close friendship with Bennett adds a profound layer to this tribute, as their camaraderie brings authenticity and depth to each note performed. Not only do Feinstein’s masterful renditions of Bennett’s timeless repertoire pay homage to an era of classic songwriting, but they also preserve the rich cultural heritage that these songs represent.

At the age of 20, Feinstein moved to Los Angeles, where he became Ira Gershwin’s assistant for six years. Gershwin’s influence provided a solid base upon which Feinstein evolved into a captivating performer, composer, and arranger of his own original music. With a list of accolades as impressive as his musical abilities, Feinstein has built a dazzling career over the last three decades, bringing the music of the Great American songbook to the world.

From recordings that have earned him five Grammy Award nominations to his Emmy-nominated PBS specials and concerts spanning the globe, Feinstein’s work as an educator and archivist define him as one of the most important musical forces of our time. Feinstein has even received three honorary doctorates.
