There's a brief interview in today's/yesterday's Tennessean -- mentions the new mobile pet adoption program she'll help launch that day, a suprise guest at the concert, and a post performance fundraiser for the Humane Society.

There's a rapturous review of the concert in of all places parentworld.com:
Bernadette Brings Broadway to Music City, June 23
By Chad Young, Senior Editor
Every once in a blue moon a voice resonates with a sound as glorious as the angels, embracing generations with every triumphant note. The lovely and divine Bernadette Peters is that voice! Just ask any of her eagerly cheering audience members present at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Saturday evening when she joined the Nashville Chamber Orchestra (NCO) for its final performance this season.
Given the notion of ending things on a high note, fate certainly dealt the NCO an upper hand with this particular show. Peters was supposed to perform with the orchestra in February, but her schedule deemed it necessary to postpone her appearance in Nashville until this weekend. NCO Music Director Paul Gambill, along with his incredibly talented musicians, is surely still on Cloud Nine after wrapping up this season’s Music Without Boundaries series with such a standout legend sharing the stage.

Gee. Do you think the reviewer liked her? I just can't tell. 
I do particularly like this quote. So very, very true:
She doesn’t simply come out and sing wonderfully written songs -- she lives them on stage. She powerfully captures the mood in each tune’s lyrics, embodies them and breathes life into them in a way that draws each listener front and center into the emotional vortex that she’s experiencing.
"Particular mention must be made of Bernadette Peters, who turns up briefly in a sort of sparkly Glinda the Good costume. She's the reluctant muse sent to help Alice with her writing. The muse is dressed like Oz, sounds like Queens and behaves like a bored student adviser." Alice Film Review, The New York Times, December 25, 1990
"I'm one star away from Dolly Parton ... and Raymond Massey is between us. I hope we don't suffocate him." Bernadette Peters receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, April 24, 1987

It said she sang "Everything's Coming Up Roses." Is this true?? If so, I am incredible jealous of anyone who was there.
Did Peters, whose character is a Broadway baby transplanted to Ireland, have any qualms about playing a lesbian, even in a family-friendly movie? "I was more nervous about playing Jewish," she notes, adding her trademark giggle. "And having to be an actress who read Chekhov."---this just cracks me up

That review reads like something we would have written on this message board!
I am skeptical about "Everything's Coming Up Roses" - but it would be amazing if she added that to the program.
