The Jews of Tin Pan Alley: An exploration of the lives and music of celebrated Jewish songwriters, whose achievements would come to dominate that body of work known as the “Great American Songbook.” We’ll discuss the lives, careers, and music of such luminaries as the Brothers Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and more. Classic recordings, rare video clips, and “live” performances from the instructor will make this program as exciting as the music itself. This class is being taught by Seth Kibel.
