Pianist and raconteur Fred Miller will
perform his popular “Lectures-In-Song” program on the song lyrics of Alan Jay
Lerner at the Clarence Dillon Public Library on Sunday, February 21, 2016 at
2:00 pm. Alan Jay Lerner was an American lyricist and librettist who created
some of the world’s most popular and enduring works of musical theatre for both
the stage and the screen. Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, and Camelot were some of his hits for the
stage as well as the films Royal Wedding and
Gigi.
Fred Miller is well-known for his
“Lecture-In-Song” series on the American Popular Song. He studied classical piano for many years,
but upon hearing Ella Fitzgerald sing Cole Porter, he found his calling and
life’s mission. He studied acting for
two years with stage and film legend Geraldine Page and vocal performance with
Tony award winner Helen Gallagher. He
has appeared in television commercials and on the radio and has run the Copper
Penny Players for many years.
The program will take place in the
downstairs meeting rooms of the library.
Admission is $5.00 which is payable at the door. Registration is recommended but not
required. Please register by calling the
library at 908-234-2325 or by email ref@dillonlibrary.org or in person at the circulation desk.
