Audra McDonald

While this was, if memory serves, the seventh time I saw Ms. McDonald perform on person, her program tonight with Andy Einhorn was remarkable in ways beyond music. The truth, generosity, storytelling, characterization, concertizing, and immeasurable singing skills we have had the privilege to witness since the mid-90s were amplified by the music chosen by Mr. Einhorn and the conversation between two people who have become family over nearly two decades of working together.
