Unforgettable: The Golden Age of the Great American Songbook

3938 Spring Grove Avenue,Cincinnati OH 45223

18 March, 2023

Description

Join Cincinnati's own Queen City Cabaret and Cincinnati Song Initiative for an extraordinary concert of timeless songs from America's mid-20th century. The evening will feature performances of vintage popular music and jazz standards by QCC's own Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys with vocalist Mandy Gaines and pianist Steve Schmidt. The phrase "Great American Songbook" often describes music from the first half of the 20th century that seems to transcend the era in which it was written. The Great American Songbook Foundation describes these songs as collection of "enduring standards, the songs that are played and sung over and over by multiple generations....(they) have a timeless meaning and resonance, whether they are days or decades old." Presented at Cincinnati's historic Liberty Exhibition Hall, this evening of songs and sentiment is expected to sell out, so reserve your tickets today! Vocalist Mandy Gaines performs "That Thing Called Love" (by Perry Brandford) with the Cincinnati Pops. Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys of Queen City Cabaret perform "Fools Rush In" by Johnny Mercer and Rube Bloom.
