Seth Kibel & Friends Presents: The Jews of Tin Pan Alley
The Howard and Geraldine Polinger Family Foundation is the lead sponsor of the Washington Jewish Music Festival.
An exploration of the music of celebrated Jewish songwriters, whose achievements would come to dominate that body of work known as the “Great American Songbook.” Seth and the band will be swinging classic tunes from the likes of the Brothers Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and more. Through music and insightful commentary from Seth, we’ll explore the Jewish influence on these great American songwriters and how the lines began to blur between the music of the old country and the music of the New World. Expect lots of toe-tapping jazz, swing, and just a wee bit o’ klezmer for good measure!
