Ottawa, Canada -- Tickets go on sale on Monday, April 5 for the special “Audi presents” concert featuring k.d. lang and the National Arts Centre Orchestra conducted by Charles Floyd in the NAC’s Southam Hall on Sunday, June 27 at 20:00. The Multiple Grammy-Award winner embarks on her first-ever orchestra tour across North America performing in concert at the NAC for the first time since 1992. Best known for her alternative country and adult contemporary songs, like “Crying” and “Constant Craving,” k.d. lang’s earthy yet sophisticated style appeals to music lovers of all kinds.

The bond k.d. shares with her fans has deepened over time and extended through such glorious, now-classic recordings as Shadowland (1988), Absolute Torch & Twang (1989), Ingenue (1992), and Live By Request (2001) which have garnered a mountain of awards, including multiple GRAMMYs. Her most recent recording is an album of duets with Tony Bennett, entitled A Wonderful World, which won a GRAMMY this year as Best Traditional Pop Album.

Her program will include such hits as “Don't Smoke in Bed”, “Crying”, “Constant Craving”, “Simple”, “Love is Everything”, “After the Goldrush”, “Miss Chatelaine”, “Hallelujah”, and more. The NAC Orchestra will perform complementary orchestral selections for the opening part of the concert.
