Event description

Irving Berlin (1888 - 1989) was a prolific composer who wrote more than an estimated 1,500 songs over his lifespan of 101 years. The story of his life is told, interspersed with so many beautifully familiar melodies, sung as solos and duets by mezzo soprano Jane Monari, tenor Christian Schneeberger and accompanied by pianist Derek Clark.

'Three fabulous artists...thrilled us with many wonderful songs, they also entertained with anecdotes from Berlin's life. The second half sparkled...Two different approaches to romance had the audience laughing...a sparkling concert...which prompted rapturous applause...accomplished performers.' Isle of Bute News, Feb 2025
