It will feature the rare opportunity to hear the electrifying Paulo Szot, star of Broadway’s South Pacific, and film and stage star Alan Cumming, in intimate concert settings. Two of the immortals in the canon of American composers – Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers – will be celebrated, respectively, by Rob Fisher and John Pizzarelli. Current Broadway and film composer Alan Menken will perform songs he has written for films and stage productions, and contemporary composer/arranger/wunderkind Nico Muhly will bring his pop collaborations to the Songbook stage.
