Join us for a musical celebration of some of the greatest Jewish American composers. Members Anne Lampert and Sherrie and George Glass will entertain you with some of the most important and influential songs of the 20th century.
This was the era when the American songbook reached a new level of sophistication across the world and even helped paint a picture of our country’s culture and customs. Consider the genius of Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and Jerome Kern to name a few. The music will span stage and screen and multiple decades.
The singers will be accompanied by Chris Coogan.
Anne is an accomplished jazz vocalist with a recording of American standards produced by Grammy nominee Pete McGuinness. She has studied with UCLA’s Michele Weir and Connecticut-based Maggi Heilweil.
