Come Shine,” “Lady Be Good,” “Lover,” “The
Trolley Song,” the original film arrangement
for “Over The Rainbow” and so much more.
“Even though I never met Judy Garland, Iknow her family very well and they have
made available her entire library of her
arrangements,” Feinstein said. “Some of
these have never been played publicly before,
or were only heard once on her TV show.
Speaking of Garland’s family, we will have a
special tribute to Judy’s beloved daughter and
my close friend for decades, Liza Minnelli.
Liza has generously loaned us some of her
personal orchestrations as well to pay tribute
to her, so it’s going to be quite a show.”
To musically celebrate the legacies of these
women, Feinstein welcomes three soloists
to the stage including icon, Grammy Award
Winner, singer and songwriter, Melissa
Manchester, whose hits include, “Don’t CryOut Loud”, “You Should Hear How She Talks
About You”, “Midnight Blue” and “Just Too
Many People”. Manchester will be singing
selections from her album Legends, where
she pays tribute to Judy Garland, PeggyLee and Doris Day, as well as songs from
her own collection like “Come in from the
Rain”. Manchester will share the stage with
two generations of icons-in-the-making
with Award-winning Jazz performer, Nicole
Henry and Songbook Youth Ambassador and
Hairspray Live’s Maddie Baillio.
Grammy Award winner Doris Day, who like
Peggy Lee, began her career as a Big Band
singer, brought great music to film including

Sera Sera”. Lee’s “Fever” has influenced
