"Tony Bennett has not just bridged the generation gap, he has demolished it. He has solidly connected with a younger crowd weaned on rock. And there have been no compromises." —The New York Times

Living legend Tony Bennett performs a program of new works from his Billboard No. 1 chart topping album, Duets II, among other signature standards, show tunes, jazz and classic hits with special guest daughter, Antonia Bennett, at the Academy of Music, November 4, 2011 at 8pm. Bennett's illustrious career has spanned over five decades with fifteen Grammy Awards and two Emmy Awards to his name.

Tony Bennett's most recent release, Duets II (RPM Records/Columbia Records), has remained in the top 5 on iTunes' album chart in the United States and has received unprecedented international attention in the U.K., Canada, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Australia. Duets II, released for his 85th birthday, is a follow-up to his highly successful Duets: An American Classic album (2006), released for his 80th birthday, and which garnered him three additional Grammy Awards and has became his best-selling record to-date.

Tickets for Tony Bennett are available from $51 to $131 by calling 215-893-1999, online at kimmelcenter.org, or at the Kimmel Center Box Office located on Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, PA 19102 (open daily from 10am to 6pm, later on performance evenings.)

“The number one success of Duets II pays tribute to the enduring genius of Tony Bennett. It is a true testament to Tony's artistry that he continues to top the charts while at the same time reaching a broader fan base and breaking new ground." —Steve Barnett, Chairman, Columbia Records
