The Young, The Tender, The Brave:
Music of Courage and Loss in Wartime

featuring the songs of:
Stephen Foster, Charles Ives, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill and composers of the big band era


It's free. I'm going. Let me know if I might see you there.

(A lot of my childhood memories involve sad, sad war songs sung by random bands in random bars my parents took me to or involve watching old movies featuring cameos by the Andrews Sisters with my dad on Sunday afternoons. So this is, aside from the obvious occasion, just one of those things for me, as opposed to whatever supposition some of you may have been harboring; that is all).

I sang a Charles Ives song back in College called Charlie Rutledge. It wasn't all that hard considering it was Ives, but it was pretty odd, and the piano accompaniment was brutal. Enjoy the concert.
