The concert will feature works by American composers, including Gershwin, Ives, Randy Newman and Copland. Conductors will be Lorin Maazel, Leonard Slatkin and Carlos Miguel Prieto.

Proceeds from Bringing Back the Music will benefit the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, whose members have dispersed across the country since the recent hurricane.

A four-time Tony Award winner for her work in A Raisin in the Sun, Master Class, Carousel and Ragtime, Audra McDonald was also seen on Broadway in Henry IV. The singer-actress made her solo Carnegie Hall concert debut in an evening of songs scored for big bands, performing several tunes from her Nonesuch CD "Happy Songs." McDonald's other solo recordings, "Way Back to Paradise" and "How Glory Goes," are also on the Nonesuch label. The acclaimed actress also co-starred in the NBC series "Mister Sterling.”
