Soprano extraordinaire Sarah Brightman comes to Benedum Center on Tuesday 12th February 2019 on her Hymn Tour! The phenomenal British singer is performing in support of her fifteenth studio album, which is written as an uplifting antidote to the world's current chaos, and takes on a spiritual feel:

"It's obviously going to have a lot of choir, lots of humans in this show," says Brightman. "I had enough of energy screens on the last tour. This one is going to be very human, full of lots of musicians and beautiful lighting. We're figuring out everything that we’re doing now, and I'm very excited."
