Musical Theater Legends With Susan Benjamin In-Person
MORE THAN MUSIC: A FORCE IN UNITING AMERICA – PART 2
This two-part program focuses on how disparate groups with various priorities can be brought together through the transformative power of art – specifically the art of musical theater. From the 1920’s to the present, musical theater composers have addressed societal issues and issues of human relations and have encouraged empathy for “the other” through their work. Composers and lyricists whose work is featured include Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers, Alan Jay Lerner, Stephen Sondheim Jerry Herman and others. This program combines elements of several musical biographies, all centered on a theme.
