Brainard to present Michael Feinstein with award in Washington, D.C.

At the U.S. Conference of Mayor's 2010 Winter Gala in Washington, D.C., Mayor Jim Brainard will present vocalist, pianist and Regional Performing Arts Center artistic director Michael Feinstein with the 2010 Legendary Artist Award.
The award is presented annually by the U.S. Conference of Mayors to the American artist who has had the greatest impact on the arts.
“Michael is being awarded the prize because of his work with the preservation of the Great American Songbook,” Brainard said.
The award ceremony will be held at the National Building Museum. After receiving the Legendary Artist Award, Feinstein is scheduled to perform at the event.
