Diana Krall to Perform at Villa Maria Estate
October 13, 2009
Grammy award-winning jazz pianist
and singer Diana Krall will be heard through the grape vines
at Villa Maria Estate when she brings her Quiet Nights World
Tour to New Zealand in February.
The Canadian talent
will be joined by New Zealand musicians Madeleine Peyroux
and Melody Gardot and accompanied by the 42-piece Auckland
Philharmonia orchestra, performing beneath the stars at
Villa Maria’s Auckland vineyard on Saturday, February 20,
2010.
Diana Krall is touring New Zealand for the first
time with concert promoters ‘A Day on the Green’ in
support of her twelfth album, Quiet Nights.
A Day on
the Green is a successful series of outdoor winery concerts
throughout Australia and New Zealand. This will be the
fourth consecutive year that Villa Maria has teamed with A
Day on the Green to combine quality music, fine wine, food
and location for an unforgettable concert-going
experience.
Reviews for Diana Krall’s Quiet Nights
tour have been uniformly glowing with The Los Angeles
Independent writing “…nothing was musically impossible
with Diana Krall’s easy and sublime performance” and the
Winnipeg Sun called it a “…flawlessly executed
performance from all concerned.”
Joining Diana on
her Australasian tour is the soulful and enigmatic Madeleine
Peyroux. Her latest album offering, Bare Bones, follows
previous albums Half the Perfect World and her million plus
selling breakthrough album Careless Love.
Rounding
out the phenomenal touring line-up is Melody Gardot, who
recently took Australia by storm during a short promotional
visit, including two sold out showcases, in support of her
new album My One and Only Thrill.
Exclusive dinner
and show packages will be available through Villa Maria
Estate to make this rare concert experience even more
memorable. For Diana Krall Quiet Nights Concert Packages,
