FORTHCOMING WINTER SYMPHONY ALBUM
Sarah will release her first-ever Christmas album for the holiday season on Manhattan/EMI Records on November 4. A Winter Symphony brings her virtuosity and originality to many of the season’s classics. Her angelic voice glides through an array of season favorites, including “Silent Night” and “In the Bleak Midwinter.” Her resplendent duet, “Ave Maria,” is sung with Fernando Lima, and Mario Frangoulis lends his talent on the new classical piece “Carpe Diem.” Also featured are timeless pop tracks, including ABBA’s famous instrumental song “Arrival,” adapted for the first time into a vocal piece, and a gorgeous rendition of Neil Diamond’s classic, “I’ve Been this Way Before.” Sarah also brings her own elegance to the holiday pop hits, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Christmas (War is Over),” “I Believe in Father Christmas” and “I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday.” A Winter Symphony was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Symphonic Orchestra, and a 46-piece choir.(Courtesy of EMI)

SYMPHONY WORLD TOUR INCLUDES WINNIPEG CONCERTFollowing her Olympic success, Sarah will embark on a world tour – her first since 2004. Brightman will be performing 10 concerts in Canada, 18 concerts in the USA, and 4 concerts in Mexico. She kicks off the tour in Monterrey, Mexico on November 4, 2008. Continuing her tradition of breathtaking stage productions, this tour will feature new and groundbreaking technology, with virtual and holographic stage sets that have never been seen before in any touring concert production. This innovative stage technology is highly sophisticated and dramatic, creating an otherworldly, ethereal experience: enormous realistic ballrooms will meld into fairytale gardens and then morph into giant fish tanks, right before the audience’s very eyes, creating a perfect backdrop for Sarah’s glorious voice. As part of her "Symphony" tour, Sarah will perform a concert in Winnipeg at the MTS Centre on Saturday, December 6, 2008. See the offical website for details on concerts in other locations.
