Meow Meow Concert at The Royal Conservatory Pushed to June 2016

Mervon Mehta, Executive Director of Performing Arts at The Royal Conservatory of Music, today announced the return engagement of cabaret star Meow Meow on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 8 pm, as part of the Quiet Please, There's a Lady On Stage concert series, is being re-scheduled to Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 8pm due to a scheduling conflict.

Post-post-modern diva Meow Meow's unique brand of 'kamikaze cabaret' and performance art exotica has hypnotized audiences globally. The spectacular crowd-surfing queen of song has had trail-blazing sell-out seasons from New York's Lincoln Centre and Berlin's Bar Jeder Vernunft to London's Apollo Theatre and the Sydney Opera House.

The multi award-winning Meow has been curated by David Bowie, Pina Bausch, and Mikhail Baryshnikov, and has created original works for numerous international arts festivals and venues. She has performed everything from Brecht/Weill's Dreigroschenoper with the London Philharmonic to touring with punk outfit Amanda Palmer and The Dresden Dolls.

She starred on London's West End in Michel Legrand and Kneehigh Theatre's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and returned to the West End for a series of solo concerts at The Apollo. She has had numerous critically acclaimed seasons of her original works at London's Southbank Centre, including Meow Meow's Little Match Girl, Feline Intimate, and most recently Apocalypse Meow: Crisis is Born.

She has won the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize, Green Room Award, Helpmann Award, Sydney Theatre Award, and the New York Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art award, and she also holds a Sidney Myer Foundation Creative Fellowship.

Her most recent projects include Weill's Die sieben Todsünden with Orchestra Victoria, performances with the San Francisco Symphony at SoundBox, and the new work Meow Meow's Little Mermaid for the Sydney Festival. She will also collaborate with Barry Humphries and the Australian Chamber Orchestra on performances of lost and banned Weimar works at Cadogan Hall in London and the Tanglewood Festival, as well as an album with Thomas M. Lauderdale of Pink Martini, orchestrated at Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic.

Previously purchased tickets are now valid for the new date. Alternately, tickets can also be exchanged for another Royal Conservatory presented concert or a gift certificate, or ticket buyers can obtain a refund before June 13, 2016.

Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage concert series includes two other remaining concerts as René Marie and Wycliffe Gordon pay tribute to the musical spirit of the divine Eartha Kitt, and Lizz Wright and Canadian singer Patricia O'Callaghan share an evening of song.
