The Lake Merritt Music Series: Stories about the Great American Songbook
In this special musical edition of Conversations, Ken Vermes (saxophonist) and Si Perkoff (pianist) will bring the Great American Songbook to life through song and story. Focusing on the Gershwins, Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers (and his partners), the duo will illuminate the human tales behind “American Standards” of the 1920s through the 1950s. What made this era of songwriting so fruitful and unforgettable? Join Si and Ken as they dig into the fascinating world that produced so many masterpieces of song art.
