l 2013 SPRING GALA AT STRATHMORE
Michael Feinstein: The Gershwins and Me
This night to remember helps bring artistic and educational programming to Strathmore, so being there is more than just marvelous: it’s a wonderful way for you to give children their first ticket to the arts. “S’Wonderful,” it’s marvelous. It’s Broadway legend, Great American Songbook archivist, musicologist and multi-platinum-selling, five-time Grammynominated recording artist Michael Feinstein performing the incomparable works of George and Ira Gershwin and sharing the personal stories from his book, The Gershwins and Me.
