Marvin Hamlisch
-
Having won nearly every entertainment award there is,
Hamlisch’s groundbreaking and Tony award winning A Chorus Line
also won a Pulitzer Prize. He is the composer of more than
forty
motion picture scores, not to mention his movie adaptation of Scott
Joplin’s ragtime in The
Sting, and his original score for The Way We Were. Hamlisch
also served as musical director and pianist for Liza Minnelli and
Barbra Streisand.
Hamlisch’s appearance on the Keller stage will, off course,
include a set of his own music, but he will also get
“intimate” with the audience in a segment called
“rent a composer” where the audience will suggest
song
topics. Other pieces will include “Songs I Wished
I’d
Written,” and highlights of his favorites from Bernstein,
Gershwin, and Sondheim.
This is an evening not to be missed!
Tickets are required.
