PERFORMANCES ABROAD

 

Rosemary George has taken her one woman Cabaret Act to London’s Barbican Centre, the International Concert series at St. James’ Piccadilly, and to the 50th Anniversary of the Edinburgh Festival where the Scotsman Newspaper remarked, “Hers is a beautiful voice. This singer’s stamp and style are in themselves impeccable.” Upon her return to the Festival, she became the “Pick of the Day” and performed on BBC Scotland’s “Five Live.” In 1997 she received the distinction of being the first American singer to … “grace the stage of the North Theatre with her beautiful voice and heartfelt singing “ at the Jerash Festival of Culture and Art in Amman, Jordan—an early Roman City of ruins built in 100 B.C. She also sang for diplomats at the American Embassy in Amman and her performances were televised throughout the Middle East and Europe.
