SUMMARY:Gershwin\, by George!
DESCRIPTION:George Gershwin\, a giant of American music\, is singular in that he was both a brilliant writer of popular songs (Swanee\, I Got Rhythm\, They Can’t Take That Away from Me) and more serious musical scores\, including Rhapsody in Blue\, An American in Paris\, and Porgy and Bess. Although his career covered less than two decades\, and ended with his tragic death in 1937\, his music endures. Join pianist and Gershwin-authority Robert Wyatt\, co-editor of Oxford University Press’ The George Gershwin Reader\, in this lively lecture and recital exploring Gershwin’s life and legacy. The evening includes live performances of the solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue\, early and unpublished music\, the piano improvisations and other Gershwin hits. Rare film footage obtained from the Gershwin family will illustrate the program\, along with unpublished photographs of the composer and his friends. Attendees will also hear archival recordings of his 1932-33 radio program\, Music by Gershwin. The audience will exit with an appreciation of the influence of Gershwin’s compositions on American music and a better understanding of his relationships to other artists of his era.

SUMMARY:The Hollywood Musical Part 4: From West Side Story Hello\, Dolly!
DESCRIPTION:Films created during the 1960s belong to the most creative era in cinema history\, one in which Hollywood responded to a time of tremendous changes reflected in shifting social and cultural values\, the Vietnam War\, new forms of rock and pop music\, and the acceleration of technological ingenuity. The dominance of television led to a rapidly diminishing movie audience\, with just 145 musicals produced in the decade\, compared to the 453 all-singing\, all-dancing extravaganzas churned out in the 1930s. \nThough the musical would continue to decline as the decade unfolded\, three films of the 1960s were among the screen’s greatest spectacles and successes: West Side Story\, The Sound of Music\, and My Fair Lady. Other straightforward adaptions of Broadway hits like Gypsy\, Can-Can\, Oliver!\, Camelot\, Funny Girl\, and Bye Bye Birdie suggested that the beloved musical movie was in good health. Mary Poppins\, Thoroughly Modern Millie\, Doctor Dolittle\, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang\, original film musicals\, ended the decade with a flourish of creativity. \nEnjoy an evening of memorable film clips\, musical recordings\, and historical anecdotes with American music specialist Robert Wyatt. Be entertained by the emergence of Barbara Streisand\, witness Julie Andrews’ transformation from a nanny to a nun\, and revisit a decade in which the movie musical tradition reached heights in terms of story\, song\, star power\, and box-office success that it would never again achieve. \n
