Bill Murray To Perform

At Glimmerglass Festival

Bill Murray

COOPERSTOWN – Bill Murray, star of “Groundhog Day” “Ghostbusters” and “Lost in Translation” will perform at the Glimmerglass Festival in a performance with cellist Jan Vogler on Tuesday, July 24, 2018.

Their performance, “New Worlds” will feature Murray singing and reading, including such selections as “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from “Porgy and Bess,” performed as part of this year’s Festival. New Worlds stems from Murray and Vogler’s curiosity in each other’s artistic worlds, and mixes the two together.

The performance communicates the bridges artists have built between America and Europe, and mixes readings and performances of works by Twain, Hemingway, Whitman, Cooper, Bernstein, Gershwin and Foster, among others.

The recipient of the 2016 Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for Humor, Murray famously parodied singers on Saturday Night Live, but ventures into new territory with his New World appearances, with selections such as “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess. Vogler is an award-winning classical cellist who regularly premieres new works and the Artistic Director of the Moritzburg Festival and Intendant of the Dresden Music Festival.

Tickets for the performance will start at $75 and are currently available exclusively to subscribers to the 2018 Glimmerglass Festival. Single tickets go on sale to the general public on January 29, 2018.

For more information on the 2018 Glimmerglass Festival and to purchase tickets visit www.glimmerglass.org or call the Box Office at (607) 547-2255.
