World renowned recording artist Michael Amante on December 14^th, 2008 will be performing at the Capital One Theater at Westbury (formally known as North Fork Theatre @ Westbury and Westbury Music Fair), in Westbury, New York. This concert will be a Holiday themed performance with a special tribute to the United States disabled veterans.

The performance will include a collection of music of the Holiday Season, along with his extensive repertoire of romantic, classical, contemporary and Broadway songs.

He is also known as the “Voice of the New York Mets” for singing the National Anthem at many of their games.
