Chris Noth of 'Sex and the City' appears with cellos in Carnegie Hall show in NYC

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Actor Chris Noth is appearing with a different kind of cast in New York City: eight cellos.

The star of "The Good Wife" and "Sex and the City" will be at Carnegie Hall on Monday for a show called "Angel Heart."

He's narrating the family concert based on a new CD storybook. It's about a girl whose heart is broken then healed on a journey with some fantastical creatures. The story by bestselling children's writer Cornelia Funke comes with songs created for voices, cellos and mandolins by Luna Pearl Woolf.

Noth says that life is "spinning so fast" now that children like his 5-year-old son should slow down and awaken their imaginations with just words and sounds. The Brooklyn Youth Chorus joins Monday's performance.
