American soprano Renée Fleming’s first-ever holiday album celebrates the beloved Christmas season in New York City.  Pop, Broadway and jazz greats Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, Kurt Elling, Brad Mehldau, Kelli O’Hara, Gregory Porter, and Rufus Wainwright join Renée as she lends her sublime voice to hits like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Silver Bells” and other gems, including “Central Park Serenade,” a brand new duet by songwriting legend Diane Warren.  Fleming’s lush vocals, elegant persona, and intimate delivery of holiday classics make this album the perfect soundtrack for holidays.  This year’s National Medal of Arts winner, Fleming boasts a career that has ranged from the stages of world’s greatest opera houses to concerts and recordings of jazz, the American songbook, movie soundtracks, and indie rock.

The release of Christmas in New York will be supported by Fleming’s appearance on local and national holiday events along with a December pledge PBS Christmas special.
