Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall

Andrea Marcovicci on Broadway...at Main Street

Nationally acclaimed cabaret singer Andrea Marcovicci performed at that Andrew Free Library & Music Hall on Saturday, October 21st. The performance, “Andrea Marcovicci on Broadway…at Main Street,” was held in the Music Hall located at 300 Beechwood Avenue in Carnegie. Funds raised at the concert benefited the $8.6 million campaign to restore, renovate and revitalize the historic landmark, as well as provided operating funds for the ACFL&MH. The project is part of the ACFL&MH's first major capital fund-raising effort since its opening in 1901.

Patrons were listed in the program and were invited to an elegant, post-concert supper in the newly refurbished Reception Hall with Ms. Marcovicci following the performance.

Ms. Marcovicci is heralded as one of America's finest interpreters of cabaret, earning accolades across the country, as "a superb singer with a voice of sunset and sunrise..." (New York Post); "Marcovicci... is one of the few who can consistently fill a room with crowds searching for a bit of musical elegance" (Variety)... a seductive vision of beauty, grace, class and undying romantic love..." (New York Times); "she pours out her soul in an achingly lovely voice..." (Los Angeles Daily News); "...there's her wry humor and her intelligence; her mixture of old fashioned charm and modern bite...her wide smile and the tears in her eyes...it's her way with cabaret." (The Wall Street Journal).

The ACFL&MH's acoustically excellent Music Hall is patterned after Carnegie Hall in New York. Ms. Marcovicci put together a special selection of songs from the "great American Songbook" for the Carnegie Carnegie that will highlight the Music Hall's most fortuitous and literal address at "Broadway and Main" in Carnegie.
