What Makes It Great? The Music of Richard Rodgers, at Merkin Concert Hall (Site)

Monday November 4, 2019, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

$60

Listen to iconic masterpieces with new ears as NPR & PBS music commentator, conductor, composer, author and pianist Rob Kapilow shows you what you’ve been missing!
Featuring Broadway Stars Sally Wilfert & Michael Winther
In a field where composers routinely collaborated with many different lyricists over the course of their careers, Richard Rodgers wrote more than 40 shows over 42 years with only two partners: Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II. Kapilow explores both of these wildly successful partnerships, which produced Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The Sound of Music, Pal Joey, A Connecticut Yankee and many more.

Followed by a post-concert reception and book signing with Rob, whose new book Listening for America: Inside the Great American Songbook from Gershwin to Sondheim will be released in October.
