McDonald will play the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage Oct. 22 at 8 PM. Tony winner Ted Sperling will conduct a Broadway-sized orchestra.

The singing actress, according to Carnegie Hall, will present "her trademark mix of show tunes, classic songs from movies, and pieces written expressly for her by leading contemporary composers."

This concert is part of McDonald's previously reported 17-city concert tour across North America; for additional details visit nonesuch.com.
