Get ready this Fall for three fabulous concerts by Katie Welsh, to be staged at the Arts Council in Princeton!
Katie Welsh is a singer specializing in musical theater and the Great American Songbook and a graduate of Princeton University. She offers a unique evening in the format of an "informative cabaret," blending a little bit of "cerebral" background on the songs with an incredible vocal performance.
Katie's recent appearances have included solo engagements at Feinstein's/54 Below, Don't Tell Mama, The Duplex Cabaret Theatre, the Metropolitan Room, BroadwayCon, and the Princeton Club of New York.
Pianist David Pearl will accompany Katie. David has performed in many of New York's premiere venues (Joe's Pub, Rainbow Room, Café Sabarsky, The Cutting Room, Symphony Space) and collaborates frequently with musicians in the jazz and classical community.
Here's the line-up for this Fall 2018 series:
Women in the World of Sondheim - Saturday, September 8, 2018 @ 7:30 In this evening of song, Katie considers what it means to be a "Sondheim woman" by exploring 12 female characters from the musicals of Stephen Sondheim.
