Singer/songwriter Charles Aznavour Returns To NY City Center 4/29

Charles Aznavour, one of the world's most beloved and iconic singer/songwriters, will make his anticipated return to New York City on Wednesday, April 29, when he kicks-off his four-performance engagement at NY City Center (130 West 56th Street).

Widely regarded as the "French Frank Sinatra," Charles Aznavour is without a doubt the most famous French singer that has ever lived. A legend who maintains an international cult following rivaled only by the late Charlie Chaplin, Aznavour is credited with reinventing the French chanson, a musical language that embodies the essence of French popular song; and for penning more than 800 songs that have been covered by artists such as Edith Piaf, Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Elvis Costello, Bobby Darin, Shirley Bassey and Sting. In 1998, Aznavour was voted "Entertainer of the Century" in a worldwide CNN/Time Magazine poll.

The New York City Center performances are one of a number of stops on an extensive North American tour, a natural extension of a farewell tour that began in 2006. This "Best Of" tour will include timeless performances of titles such as She, Yesterday When I Was Young, For Me Formidable, Take Me Along, You and Me, God Bless The Child, What Makes A Man, La Mamma, The Sound Of Your Name and Ave Maria.

The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesday, April 29, Friday, May 1 and Thursday, May 2 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, May 3 at 3:00 pm. Tickets range from $50.00 to $190.00, and are available through www.nycitycenter.org or in person at the City Center box office (130 West 56th Street).
