Description
"Irving Berlin is the greatest songwriter that has ever lived" - George Gershwin
"Irving Berlin has no place in American Music. He is American music." - Jerome Kern
Hailed as “Virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone” by the New York Times, Grammy-Winning Juilliard graduates and identical twin brothers Peter and Will Anderson present the life and music of the iconic American composer Irving Berlin. In addition to a live performance with their all-star septet featuring trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg, the show will feature an fascinating narrative and film presentation. Songs include “Cheek to Cheek,” "Blue Skies," "Putin' on the Ritz," "Always," and "White Christmas." Born and raised in Washington, DC, the Andersons have headlined the Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, live on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion; and can be heard on the Grammy-winning soundtrack of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. They received a 2014 Drama Desk nomination for their off-Broadway production of "Le Jazz Hot" and won a 2018 Bistro Award. www.PeterAndWillAnderson.com
