Community Calendar for Medina County

Michael Feinstein, singer, pianist, Grammy winner, and music revivalist, will appear for one concert on Sunday October 5th, 4pm at the Medina High School Performing Arts Center (PAC) Main Stage. 

Feinstein, one of the premiere interpreters of American popular song, has been a household name since the success of his 1988 one-man Broadway Show, "Isn't It Romantic."  He enjoys an active performance calendar, including major concert halls symphony orchestras, intimate jazz and college campuses.  More than a mere performer, he is nationally recognized for his commitment to the American popular song, both celebrating its art and preserving its legacy for the next generation.

Through his live performances (from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall), recordings, film and television appearances, and his songwriting (in collaboration with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Lindy Robbins and Carole Bayer Sager) Feinstein has been an important musical force during the past 15 years.  In addition, he scored the original music for the film Get Bruce.  His television credits include performances on "Caroline in the City", "Melrose Place", "Coach" and "Sybil".

Michael is currently producing a CD for his friend Liza Minnelli based on the music of her godmother Kay Thompson, the famed author, singer and arranger.  He will also host and serve as consultant on a new PBS film on vintage Hollywood "Soundies" and is producing a documentary feature on arts and society icon Kitty Carlisle Hart.  He has written the score for a new stage musical Perspectives, opening soon in London's West End.

The show will be a trip down musical memory lane with tunes that not only moms and dads will know and remember, but also grandma and grandpa as well.  For high school students who are just discovering this music, it should be a fantastic opportunity to hear the "new sound" of the "old standards".
