Stephanie J. Block Will Offer New Concert in New York, The Mother

Tony winner Stephanie J. Block, most recently on Broadway as The Baker's Wife in the acclaimed revival of Into the Woods, will perform in concert February 22 at 7:30 PM at the Kaufmann Concert Hall.

Presented by the 92nd Street Y, the evening, entitled The Mother, is an all-new show centered on the theme of motherhood. Attendees can expect to hear works by Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, William Finn, Dolly Parton, James Taylor, and Brandi Carlile, whose song “The Mother” gives the show its title. The songs reflect maternal influences in Block's life and communicate the beauty and hardships of being a mother.
