SOLD OUT! – Arts at the Armory Spotlight Series Presents Rufus Wainwright

Sunday, March 9th at 7:00PM

Praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation.

The Center Arts at the Armory is proud to welcome Rufus Wainwright on his Going to a Town Solo Tour on Sunday, March 9th at 7pm as part of Arts at the Armory’s Spotlight Series.  

The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released ten studio albums to date and three live albums including the GRAMMY® nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. He has collaborated with artists such as Elton John, Burt Bacharach, Miley Cyrus, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, among many others.

His 2020 GRAMMY® nominated studio album of original songs, Unfollow the Rules, finds Wainwright at the peak of his powers, entering artistic maturity with passion, honesty, and a new-found fearlessness. In 2023, he embarked on a journey to his family folk roots with his newly-released, GRAMMY® nominated album Folkocracy featuring reinvented folk duets with artists like Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend and Anohni and many more.

Wainwright’s first musical of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night for the West End with Ivo van Hove premiered at the Gielgud Theater in March 2024. During this time he also completed a Requiem which premiered with the Orchestre Philharmonique de la Radio France in June of 2024.
