Please join us at L’Auberge Chez François Sunday, February 23rd, 2020 at 5:30 PM for a very special musical Supper, featuring the “Sounds and Songs of Tinsel Town”.
Returning sold-out Vocalist Bob McDonald and pianist extraordinaire, Tony Nalker, will celebrate the songs of “Tinsel Town” and “take you to the movies” with the classic songs of Tinsel Town. Think “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story and lots more in between!
Bob McDonald is probably best known to the DC area as the National Anthem singer for the Washington Capitals hockey team. He also enjoys a diverse career across many artistic disciplines, including musical theater, opera, and the concert stage, as well as his job as an active-duty baritone and announcer in The United States Army Chorus. Bob has performed on most Washington DC area stages, including The Kennedy Center, Signature Theater, Folger Theater and others, and at various venues across the country. Bob received his BA and MA from Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
Tony Nalker performs widely in the Washington, D.C. area, currently serving as jazz pianist with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra Pops. From 1989-2016 Tony was the pianist of the premiere jazz ensemble of the U.S. Army, the Army Blues, and served as the group’s enlisted leader. Tony received his undergraduate degree in music from James Madison University and his M.A. in music from the University of Iowa.
These fantastic sounds of the movies will be paired with an equally decadent 5 course menu, crafted by Chef Jacques Haeringer and wines expertly paired by our sommelier team. See you there and be ready to sing-along to your favorites.
