This class looks at the life, career, and songs of Irving Berlin (1888-1989). For over five decades, Berlin wrote songs for Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, and the movies and many of those songs are still part of the American consciousness. The class is part-lecture, part- listening to outstanding recordings of Berlin songs.

Thomas Hischak is a retired Professor of Performing Arts from the State University of New York College at Cortland. He is the author of over thirty books on theatre, film, and popular music.

For ages 18 and up.
