This program salutes some of America's most beloved songwriters and lyricists, including George and Ira Gershwin, Ellington and Strayhorn, Kander and Ebb, Lerner and Lowe, Leiber and Stoller, Rodgers and Hart, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Many short-lived collaborations produced bona-fide hits, but those composers and lyricists who spent decades together are responsible for a tremendous amount of American popular song. This evening will celebrate their contributions to American song. Artists include Jennifer Alymer, Darius DeHaas, Jason Graae and Hugh Russell with The Orchestra of St. Luke's led by Michael Barrett.
