In this tribute show on August 4, Donna Lee explores the musical treasures of the Carpenter’s catalogue and brings to life songs of joy, love and longing. From their first hits, a reworking of the Beatles, “Ticket to Ride”, and Burt Bacharach’s “Close to You’, the Carpenters created a unique body of work and established themselves as one of the most successful pop music groups of all time. Led by Karen’s rich contralto voice, the Carpenters rose to the top with “Rainy Days and Mondays”, “Hurting Each Other” and “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Donna Lee delicately interlaces the story of a life of music and tragedy through word and song. Relive the magic of the 70’s with Donna Lee and her band in The Karen Carpenter Story.
