Melissa Errico
Melissa Errico continues to amaze. A one woman whirlwind of glamour and creative energy, she has come out of the pandemic with a wildly-acclaimed new album, extraordinary livestream events and unique concerts — including tributes to her musical mentors, Stephen Sondheim & Michel Legrand. Already busy touring on two continents (and winning rave reviews as she does) she has also penned even more essays in her “Scenes From The Acting Life” column in the New York Times; and will be featured on PBS for a one-hour solo American Songbook Series concert in June. This year will be crowned, in November 2022, by her debut on the main stage of Carnegie Hall, leading the upcoming one-year tribute to Stephen Sondheim with the NY Pops. She’ll also do a solo symphony tribute to Sondheim with the Iowa Symphony, using her own charts. There’s no one like her!

MELISSA’S ALBUMS REVIEWS:
