Barbara Cook July 7, 2012

Tony Award winning Broadway legend and 2011 Kennedy Center Honoree Barbara Cook sings pop standards, jazz classics and Broadway staples. Considered "Broadway's favorite ingenue" during the heyday of the Broadway musical, she launched a second career as a concert and recording artist. Whether on the stages of major international venues throughout the world or in the intimate setting of a New York nightclub, Barbara Cook's popularity continues to thrive - as evidenced by the celebration of her 80th birthday in the Fall of 2007 with three sold-out concerts with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall, her solo concert debut at the Metropolitan Opera (which made her the first female pop singer to be presented by the Met in the company's long history), and a succession of six triumphant returns to Carnegie Hall.
