SUMMARY:Irving Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Irving Berlin has often been called the quintessential American songwriter of all time.  This is high praise for anyone – especially for an uneducated young immigrant from Russia who came to America not speaking a word of English. \nAs with so many immigrants\, Irving Berlin came to love this country deeply and abidingly.  He never lost his sense of gratitude to the USA!  But Irving Berlin’s music is much more important  than just the unforgettable anthem “God Bless America.” \nThroughout his 60-year career\, Irving Berlin wrote more than 1500 songs.  While many are forgotten\, his best work is among the best ever written for the movies and the Broadway stage.  \nWhen Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were dancing “Cheek to Cheek\,”  they danced to Irving Berlin’s music.  When soldiers lamented\, “Oh\, How I Hate to Get up in the Morning\,” they sang Irving Berlin.  On Christian holidays\, people sang “White Christmas” or  “Easter Parade.”  I wonder how many of those people remembered that the songs were written by a Jewish man who celebrated neither Easter nor Christmas! \nThe very long life and sixty-year career of the great Irving Berlin\, from “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” to  “Annie Get Your Gun\,” is one of the most fascinating stories of American popular culture history.  I can’t wait to share with you this outstanding multimedia presentation. \nTHIS PROGRAM IS FREE ON ZOOM!  REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER!
