STORM LARGE With Le Bonheur Reinterprets The American Songbook At Carpenter Center

California The Richard and Karen Carpenter Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), hosts two evenings of dazzling music on Wednesday and Thursday, April 24th and 25th at 7pm, welcoming vocalist extraordinaire Storm Large and her band Le Bonheur to the stage as part of Carpenter Center's Cabaret Series.

Storm Large made a name for herself as a singer with Pink Martini and for her riveting 2006 appearance as a finalist on Rock Star: Supernova. Storm has since sold-out concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and sung with Grammy winner k.d. lang, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton. The New York Times calls her sensational.

Storm Large brings more than her inimitable interpretations of the American Songbook and Broadway showstoppers to Carpenter Center. She also thrills with gorgeous originals delivered in an intimate performance space that distinguishes Carpenter Center's Cabaret Series from other settings. Guests will revel in Storm Large's incomparable voice and engaging presence as they sit onstage with her and her band, Le Bonheur, recreating the warmth and emotional immediacy of a cabaret.

Tickets for Storm Large with Le Bonheur start at $45. For tickets and more information, visit CarpenterArts.org/Storm or call the Carpenter Center Ticket Office at (562) 985-7000.
