A first glimpse at a broader tour??

The National Arts Centre Orchestra announces its 2010-2011 season

THE NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE GALA
An Intimate Evening with Diana Krall
On Saturday, October 2, a romantic, glittering, and glamorous evening beckons! It begins with Maestro Pinchas Zukerman leading the NAC Orchestra in a 60-minute concert, then, in the second half of the evening, sultry Diana Krall and her quartet take over the stage. Singer, pianist, and songwriter extraordinaire, British Columbia’s own Diana Krall is a superb Grammy Award-winning jazz musician with a unique style and a seductive voice. The Telegraph (London) wrote, “She draws people into an intimate space… simply to enjoy that feeling of being ‘up close and personal’… that makes us sit back with a sigh and simply enjoy that Krall really is very good.”

I doubt it. This is probably a one-off. The NAC Gala is a fundraising event – our prime minister ‘performed’ with Yo Yo Ma during the last one…
(He sang With a Little Help From My Friends…, though I think Fool On the Hill would have been more appropriate J )

I'd say you're right. I'm pulling for her to do more benefits!
