Bocelli, who conveys confidence and mastery in both classical and pop genres, received rave reviews during his sold-out United States 2006 tour.  "His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion…he owned Madison Square Garden," celebrated the New York Post.  The Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, "(Bocelli) brings a passion and joy to such familiar (classical) pieces" and proclaimed, "it was a triumphant appearance."  His album released in October 2007, "The Best Of Andrea Bocelli - Vivere," marked a decade of chart-topping albums that has made him a household name and beloved cultural figure throughout the world.  The album, produced by Sugar Music/Decca, features selections from Bocelli's popular recordings including "Romanza,"certified four times platinum, "Sogno," certified two times platinum, and his most recent platinum album, "Amore."


The young singing sensation Bublé brings his irrepressible spirit, engaging humor and confident charisma to the concert stage.  His most recent album, "Call Me Irresponsible," contains a depth of feeling that delights long-term fans and impresses those new to his music.  The album boasts more of Bublé's buoyant, modern interpretations, including songs by such greats as Leonard Cohen, Eric Clapton, Cy Coleman and others.  He describes it as "my remark on the state of love."


Groban burst onto the international music scene in 2001 with the release of his self-titled debut album featuring the hit single "To Where You Are."  His follow-up album, "Closer," was released in 2003 and brought enormous success to the young singing sensation.  His smash hit, "You Raise Me Up," immediately became popular among his fans worldwide.  "Closer," along with his self-titled debut album, have collectively sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.


Foster, a 14-time Grammy Award winner, has discovered and nurtured the careers of Groban, Bublé and The Corrs, as well as created chart-topping hits for such legends as Bocelli, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan.  He entered the music business in 1973 and quickly established himself as a sought-after session musician and the industry's premier keyboardist.  The concert will be filmed by PBS and is scheduled to air nationwide in December.
