Screen Shot 2013-05-24 at 1.52.35 PM copyTune in tonight at 9pm EDT to watch “Audra McDonald in Concert: Go Back Home” on PBS’s Emmy-winning series Live From Lincoln Center (check local listings). The concert was recorded live earlier this month at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall and features the five-time Tony Award-winner performing songs from her new solo recording for Nonesuch, Go Back Home, as well as some of her other personal favorites. In his review of the concert, Stephen Holden of the New York Times wrote: “Absolutely thrilling. That describes Audra McDonald’s Avery Fisher Hall performance at Lincoln Center’s spring gala on Thursday evening… One of Ms. McDonald’s greatest gifts is to find the story inside the song and deliver it with immediacy and clarity, in a voice that finds a flexible, intuitive balance between storytelling and singing – a defying voice of our time.” This telecast caps off her first season as host for Live From Lincoln Center.  Click here to watch a trailer for “Audra McDonald in Concert: Go Back Home.”
