PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, 91.3 WYEP and the Three Rivers Arts Festival are pleased to announce CD Live! presents k.d. lang at 8 pm, Tuesday, April 7, 2009, at the Benedum Center in downtown Pittsburgh. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 12, 2008.
Over the last twenty years, k.d. lang has lent her voice to an astonishing range of material, from Nashville tearjerkers to Tin Pan Alley torch songs, from playful cow-punk tunes to sultry, grown-up pop. With her Nonesuch label debut Hymns of the 49th Parallel, the Alberta native brings it all back home, metaphorically speaking, exploring the work of her favorite Canadian songwriters: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Ron Sexsmith and Jane Siberry. She juxtaposes classics from iconic artists who were her inspirations with equally brilliant material from contemporary performers who remain her fellow travelers.
Tickets for the April 7 performance will be $39.50 – $89.50. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 12, 2008. To purchase tickets, visit the Theater Square Box Office, call 412.456.6666 or buy online at www.pgharts.org.
