Pianist Michael Ferreri Set to Perform at the Purple Parrot |
Pianist/singer Michael Ferreri's acclaimed cabaret act is coming to the Purple Parrot August 24-26. A musician and entertainer of exceptional talent, Michael's outstanding musicality and seemingly endless repertoire have made him a consistently popular and working performer in cabarets, clubs and in concert dates.
Backstage says that with his "striking charisma, charming stage presence, and soft baritone voice, he is clearly a promising talent." His talents have also garnered him a devoted fan base in New York, London, and across the United States. Michael's debut CD, Michael Ferreri: Sweet Dreams is an ethereal collection of songs that tell a story and are perfectly suited to his intimate phrasing and musicianship. The CD contains 12 cuts showcasing his engaging and highly personal style of performing, including "Move On," by Stephen Sondheim; "Sweet Dreams" and "A Dream" by John Bucchino; and "Lullabye" by Billy Joel. Michael has appeared in concert and in galas with such celebrated performers as Michael Feinstein, Andrea McArdle, Beth Fowler and Greg Edelman. Other concerts include a Tribute to Sondheim at Primary Stages and a benefit concert version of Into the Woods chaired by Stephen Sondheim. He has performed in the Musicals Unlimited revival of Pipe Dream and the acclaimed Lincoln Center production of The Happy End, produced by the Kurt Weill Foundation. Michael has also been given the unique honor of performing at an intimate New York reception for HRH Prince Philip of England. His solo cabaret engagements have been enthusiastically received, including a sold-out cabaret show with Meg Flather at one of New York's cabaret epicenters, Don't Tell Mama. His engaging playing and ability to establish immediate rapport with his audience has made him one of the most popular musicians at such New York landmarks as One if by Land, Two if by Sea and Tavern on the Green, and at the clubs Eighty-Eights and The Townhouse. The Purple Parrot is located at 247 Rehoboth Avenue. Performances are August 24, 25, and 26, from 6-9 pm. For information call 302 226-1139. |
