Barbara Cook at The Birchmere
Widely considered the foremost interpreter of the American Songbook, the Tony- and Grammy-winning Barbara Cook performs a one-night-only concert at the intimate Birchmere.

She’ll sing showtune standards accompanied by a band including musical director Andy Einhorn on keyboards, Peter Donovan on bass and Jim Saporito on drums. Friday, Oct. 29, at 7:30 p.m. The Birchmere, 3701 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria. Tickets are $79.50. Call 703-549-7500 or visit birchmere.com.
