One of the world’s greatest tenors has announced that he will play four shows this fall in the United States.  Andrea will perform two night events in both San Antonio, tx and Washington DC.

While in Washington he will perform “Petite Messe Solennelle,” composed by Giochino Rossini at the Washington National Opera.  Three nights later Bocelli will perform, “Cavalleria Rusticana,” conducted by Eugene Kohn at San Antonio Municipal Auditorium.

These dates come just days after the release of his anticipated CD/DVD, “Incanto.”

“All these tunes are classics, because they’re masterpieces. Pop singers as well as operatic tenors have measured themselves against this repertoire,” Bocelli said in a statement. “What I wanted was to make an album of all the songs I remember from my earliest childhood, the music of my roots.”

Barbra Streisand has announced that she will play at a benefit for Barack Obama on September 16 at the Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.  The event will most likely be the final fundraiser before the election in November.

There will be approximately 700 people in attendance with a ticket price of $2500.

Steisand who has been a very vocal democratic supporter over the years also performed at fundraisers for John Kerry and Al Gore before the previous two elections.

In a recent statement on her website Streisand gave her opinion on John McCain’s choice in Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate.

“I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary — an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant — would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes,” Steisand said in the statement. “McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election.”

“Sharing this honor… with so many of our greatest musical influences, is something I’m sure none of the band members imagined when we first started making music together,” vocalist and founding member John Bell said in a statement. “September 20th is going to be a truly special day for the entire Widespread Panic Family.”
