Accomplished actress and singer Lynda Carter will perform with the University of Mary Washington-Community Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, April 17. The “An Evening with Lynda Carter” concert, part of the William M. Anderson, Jr. Celebrity Series, will be held at 7:30 p.m. in George Washington Hall, Dodd Auditorium.
The event is open to the public. Tickets are $35 for general admission, $25 for members of Friends of the Orchestra and $10 for students.
Widely known for her role in the 1970s television series “Wonder Woman,” Carter has produced and starred in several Emmy nominated network television specials. Her first album, “At Last,” was released in June 2009 and topped at Number 6 on Billboard’s album charts. A new album is expected to be released this summer.
The orchestra will perform several numbers with Carter and a back-up band that includes many Grammy and Emmy award winners, including blues saxophonist Lou Marini. The show marks the first time Carter will perform her collection of jazz, country and blues music accompanied by an orchestra.
The celebrity series is sponsored by Wachovia Bank. The UMW-Community Symphony Orchestra is directed by Kevin P. Bartram and includes university students and members from the Fredericksburg area.
