Judy Carmichael has played the major international concert halls and festivals from Carnegie Hall to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice (the first concert ever presented by the museum) to programs with Melissa Etheridge, Leslie Garrett, Joel Grey, Michael Feinstein, Jools Holland, Steve Ross and the Smothers Brothers.
