A Jewish Music Course for Music Lovers
Acclaimed Broadway musicologist, performer, and music director Michael Lavine will take you on an in-depth journey to meet the songwriters who wrote songs for radio, film, and Broadway during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Some of these composers grew up in the Lower East Side and oftentimes you can hear the Jewish influence in the writing of their music. Join Michael Lavine for a stroll down memory lane and learn about the songwriters behind the music. Each session in this course, we will explore the music from the following eras:
- The Roaring Decades
- The Enthralling Thirties
- The Fabulous Forties
