Art returns to the Far East in November, for dates in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo and other cities. Also that month, he performs for the first time in Oslo, Norway. He is tapped to perform at the 150th anniversary of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, in a special concert with several international stars. The completion of his Walk across America and the staging of the Ellis Island concert mark another personal plateau for Art Garfunkel. Composed by Jimmy Webb and performed by Art Garfunkel, Amy Grant and The London Symphony Orchestra, this magnificently produced cantata tells the story of the Nativity from the perspective of the animals who were there.
Art continues to tour the U.S. with an extensive international schedule planned for the fall.
In July, Art will perform at a benefit show at Buckingham Palace, hosted by the Duke of York. I feel somewhat different from many people in the extraordinary amount of good fortune that fell into my lap and has made up my life. I rehearsed a lot in my teenage years and really sought after what this country holds, good fortune for those who go after it with hard work. But I do feel as I pass through the country, it's a charmed life. I grew up with a lot of love in my family, so I have the five senses with which to glean the richness of this land as I pass through it.
