one of which she performs
with Heather Payne. A book of
the same name was also
released—with the sub-title
"Where Possibility Meets
God's Faithfulness."
In October 2011, Patty
released Broadway Stories, a
secular album. From iTunes
Review: "Before Sandi Patty
was a Christian music star, she
developed her craft by
performing stage standards and
pop tunes from the Great
American Songbook.
Broadway Stories reaffirms her
mastery of such material
against gorgeous backdrops
provided by the 64-piece
Prague Symphony Orchestra.
From the first track to the last,
Patty shows an easy command
of the Broadway idiom,
applying her formidable pipes
to material worthy of her
talents."
In January, 2012, Patty starred
as Dolly Levi in the
Indianapolis Symphony
Orchestra's world premiere
concert stage version of the
Broadway musical, "Hello,
Dolly!" to rave reviews.
In 2012 and 2013, Patty was a
judge and mentor for the
Songbook Academy, a summer
intensive for high school
students operated by the Great
American Songbook
Foundation and founded
by Michael Feinstein.
In December 2015, Patty will
serve as host (for the seventh
time) at the month-long 30th
annual Yuletide Celebration
with the Indianapolis
Symphony Orchestra.
In September 2015, Patty
announced that she will retire
from touring following an
extensive 90+ city tour, titled
'The Forever Grateful Tour,'
starting in February 2016 and
running through mid-2017. A
new studio album of the same
name is slated to be released in
early 2016.
