Setting New Standards The Great American Songbook Past, Present, and Future
Have you ever wondered what makes a standard a standard? Why are songs from the Tin Pan Alley era so much a part of the public consciousness? Will songs written in the last 50 years every become so? What songs will those be, and who is writing them? These are the questions addressed and answered in "Setting New Standards." Including in this remarkable evening of song are standards past (Berlin, Porter, Gershwin) and present (Beatles, Carole King), and perhaps even future (Goldrich & Heisler, John Bucchino). A fascinating evening of standards through time. Always a crowd pleaser, an education, and a joy.
Femme Forte A Century of Women Songwriters
Everyone knows the names Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen, but almost no one knows the names Dorothy Fields. In a career that spanned over half a century, Dorothy was responsible for the lyrics to over 400 songs, many of which are now standards in our Great American Sonbook. Her story is not unique, but her songwriting couldn't be more special. "Femme Forte" is an evening of fascinating stories and marvelous songs celebrating some of the greatest women songwriters of the last century -- known and unknown, young and old -- and their contributions to our American Songbook. Audiences enjoy great old songs they know and love but didn't know were written by women, and discover great new songs they're going to love written by women they should know. Perfect for Women's History Month (March), but great any time of year.
