Take a break, sit back, and enjoy live music at the Royal Oak Public Library! Join us on Saturday, November 10 at 3:00 PM for our music program ‘S Wonderful, a tribute to the music of George and Ira Gershwin. Both George and Ira wrote many of the finest American popular songs and orchestral pieces: Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris and songs I Got Rhythm, Embraceable You, The Man I Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, Summertime, and many other songs which are instantly recognizable. Their music and words have an enduring popularity. The Gershwin’s opera/musical Porgy and Bess, first performed in 1935, was recently revived on Broadway and was the 2012 Tony-Award winner for a best musical revival.
Soprano Diana Turner and baritone John DeMerell will perform numerous Gershwin songs, accompanied by Martin Mandelbaum on keyboard. Martin will also perform several piano solos.
Join us in the Friends Auditorium for this very special music program.
