Los Angeles (Top40 Charts/ STILETTO Entertainment) - Legendary musician and performer
Barry Manilow announces a series of first-ever Florida symphony concerts backed by The
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra of Punta Gorda, Florida in January of 2011. Beginning on January 20th, and stretching across five major Florida cities, Manilow will bring his greatest hits to the
Sunshine State. Tickets will be available to the general public on
September 24. VIP and BMIFC advance tickets are presently on sale at Manilow.com.
The Florida concert series is an entirely exclusive and distinct experience from Manilow's current critically acclaimed Paris Las Vegas residency shows, and features The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra plus Manilow's Band and Cast from his Las Vegas Show. The concerts, produced in partnership with STILETTO Entertainment and BRE Presents, will mark the first time Manilow has performed with an orchestral accompaniment in Florida.
Recently, Manilow wowed fans in Atlantic City with a one-night-only show backed by the esteemed New York Pops to a sold-out crowd at Caesars Boardwalk Hall. Prior to that, he lit up the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, to rave response.
While in both cities, and in signature Manilow fashion, he was able to raise money and collect instruments for the Manilow Music Project to benefit local school music programs. The Manilow Music Project provides scholarships and musical instruments to secondary and high school music programs throughout the country. More information on the Manilow Music Project can be found at https://www.manilowmusicproject.org/.
"I am thrilled to share the stage with such an impressive collection of musicians and bring some of my greatest hits to Florida fans for this exclusive series," says Manilow.
