Barbra Streisand
Multi-award-winning singer-actor-director Barbra Streisand returns to New York City’s Madison Square Garden August 3 for the first time in 13 years.
The internationally acclaimed artist performs in concert at 8 PM. The evening features co-direction by Streisand and Richard Jay-Alexander.
“There are no fans like New York fans!” said Streisand in an earlier statement, “and I can’t wait to return to Madison Square Garden to perform some new songs, some old songs, and anything I find in between.”
Streisand has recorded 52 gold, 31 platinum, and 13 multi-platinum albums in her career and is the only recording artist or group to achieve No. 1 albums in each of the six consecutive decades. She is the only artist ever to receive Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Directors Guild of America, Golden Globe, National Medal of Arts and Peabody awards, as well as France's Legion d’Honneur, the American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and is the first female film director to receive the Kennedy Center Honors. In 2015, President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
