COURSE DESCRIPTION
Lyrical introductions to songs from "The Great American Songbook," featuring works by George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hart, Jimmy McHugh & Dorothy Fields, Jerome Kern, Harry Warren, Jule Styne, Harold Arlen, and Yip Harburg, among others. Many know these iconic songs by heart but have rarely heard the song's beautiful introductory verses. You may never hear the songs the same way again.

Join us for Part I, a repeat of the acclaimed Spring 2025 course and/or for Part II, with all new material.
