Andrea Bocelli announces first-ever holiday concerts in December on the heels of anticipated CD release: My Christmas
Disc available November 3rd on Sugar/Decca
September 30, 2009 (New York, NY)
On the heels of his highly anticipated CD, My Christmas, Andrea Bocelli has announced his fall/winter U.S. tour, kicking off in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on November 28th. Andrea's stateside promotional activities around the release of My Christmas will also include high-profile TV appearances alongside the live concert dates, all culminating in the most heart-warming musical experience of the year.
Bocelli received rave reviews throughout his U.S. tour last Summer as an artist showing confidence and mastery in both classical and pop worlds. "His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion…he owned Madison Square Garden," celebrated the New York Post, and the Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, "[Bocelli] brings a passion and joy to such familiar [classical] pieces," proclaiming, "It was a triumphant appearance."
Bocelli's fall/winter dates will celebrate much of the repertoire the classical crossover singer has made world-famous over his incredible career as well as music from his upcoming release My Christmas, giving his fans a wonderful welcoming to the holidays. Bocelli and Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster also recently taped a joint Public Television Christmas concert-special in Los Angeles, which will air as part of the PBS Great Performances series beginning late November.
Andrea's stunning new CD of traditional and favorite holiday selections coupled with his special live concerts are destined to make for the ultimate holiday event appealing to fans of all ages. The lush, beautiful arrangements and Andrea's unmistakable vocals both on disc and on stage are unmatched. Selections on the album include "White Christmas," "Oh Holy Night," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Jingle Bells," "Silent Night," "The Christmas Song," and "What Child Is This" among others.

November 28 - Bank Atlantic Center Ft Lauderdale, FL
