Michael Feinstein 鈥 celebrated multi-platinum recording artist, Emmy and Grammy nominee, Tony Award winner and world-renowned music archivist 鈥 has spent over four decades preserving and celebrating the Great American Songbook. Dubbed 鈥淭he Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,鈥 Feinstein has dedicated his life to bringing the music of the 20th century鈥檚 most beloved composers and lyricists to new audiences around the world.
His remarkable career began as a young prot茅g茅 of the legendary lyricist Ira Gershwin, an experience that ignited his lifelong devotion to American popular song. Since then, Feinstein has released more than thirty acclaimed albums, including Pure Gershwin, The Sinatra Project and Gershwin Country, collaborated with music icons such as Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minnelli, and performed for presidents, royalty and sold-out crowds at Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl and venues worldwide.
A sought-after conductor, Feinstein has led major orchestras including the Pasadena Pops (Conductor Emeritus), the Boston Pops (guest conductor), and the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. His artistic leadership extends to the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana, where he serves as Artistic Director and has founded the Great American Songbook Foundation and Songbook Academy, a premier youth music education program.
In 2024, Feinstein debuted Because of You: Michael Feinstein Celebrates Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall鈥檚 Zankel Hall, a heartfelt concert tribute to his longtime friend. Following a 50-city U.S. tour, the concert 鈥 filmed at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and directed by Habib Azar 鈥 premiered exclusively on Carnegie Hall+ in August 2025 in celebration of Tony Bennett鈥檚 birthday.
Feinstein is also co-creator of Liza Minnelli鈥檚 forthcoming memoir, Kids, Wait 鈥楾il You Hear This (Grand Central Publishing, Spring 2026), developed over two decades of recorded conversations and co-written with Pulitzer Prize winners Heidi Evans and Josh Getlin. The memoir will feature never-before-heard audio archives produced by Feinstein for the audiobook edition and has been acquired by Magnolia Hill Productions in association with Warner Bros. Discovery for both film and television, with Feinstein serving as producer on the adaptation.
Looking ahead, Feinstein has signed a multi-year music production agreement with Magnolia Hill Productions / Warner Bros. Discovery, composing and producing original music for all of the company鈥檚 upcoming film and television projects, including Return to Oz, where he will also serve as producer, and the Liza Minnelli memoir adaptation. He is also developing The Gay American Songbook, a groundbreaking project celebrating the contributions of LGBTQ+ composers and lyricists throughout music history.
Through his recordings, live performances, conducting, education initiatives and upcoming film and television projects, Michael Feinstein continues to honor America鈥檚 musical heritage while shaping its future for generations to come.
This evening's performance lasts roughly two hours, including a 15 minute intermission.
