 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MANILOW BRINGS CHRISTMAS TO THE ROSEMONT THEATRE WITH 56-PIECE ORCHESTRA AND HOLIDAY HITS Los Angeles, CA (November 23, 2009)—Music Icon Barry Manilow returns to the Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, IL on December 17th, 18th and 19th, 2009 for three nights of music and magic. This engagement will feature a 56-piece orchestra–packed with Manilow’s iconic hits and holiday songs from his three incredible and heartwarming Christmas albums including his new album, “In The Swing Of Christmas.” “Chicago and I have had a long lasting love affair for many years and we always have a ball when the curtain goes up. I can’t wait to do this show for my Chicago friends supported by this big and amazing orchestra,” said Manilow. The pop icon has written hundreds of songs and performed around the globe for millions of fans, receiving an Oscar nomination and winning a Grammy, two Emmys, and several Tony Awards along the way. His recently released Christmas record, “In The Swing Of Christmas,” is Manilow’s third holiday album. In 1990, he released “Because It's Christmas” on Arista; and in 2002, Columbia issued “A Christmas Gift of Love.” Manilow will next release “The Greatest Love Songs of All Time,” which will be released in January 2010 in time for Valentine’s Day. With worldwide record sales exceeding 80 million, Barry Manilow is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time, according to R&R (Radio & Records); with no less than 25 consecutive top 40 hits to his credit between 1975 and 1983, on the Billboard Hot 100. The legendary musician has worked on over 40 albums over the course of his career as a singer, songwriter, arranger and producer; and, is busier than ever. He recently performed his first ever solo concert at the Hollywood Bowl on October 24th, 2009–where, in association with the Manilow Music Project and the Grammy Foundation, he raised a donation of $100,000 in musical instruments for the LAUSD. An avid philanthropist, earlier this year Manilow donated $500,000 in musical instruments to schools in the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley area. Additionally, in December, Manilow—with the Manilow Fund for Health and Hope—will present “A Gift of Love…,” a five-night holiday concert series benefitting local charities at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA.
