A celebration of our country's illustrious creative duos, Great American Songwriting Teams is a hymn to the iconic ampersands of American popular song: George & Ira Gershwin, Comden & Green, Bock & Harnick, Rodgers & Hart (& Hammerstein), Leiber & Stoller, and many others.

NYFOS has mounted several versions of this show over the years. This season's edition will feature many songs new to the program, as well as a new songwriting team: Coleman & Leigh, who will be represented by a delightful number fromLittle Me. The program features some famous songs ("You and the Night and the Music," "Love Potion #9"), some best known to Broadway aficionados ("Little Tin Box," "The Wrong Note Rag"), and some that will be a delightful discovery for listeners (an unpublished Gershwin gem called "Luckiest Man in the World").

Seven singers from Juilliard will join Steven Blier for the evening, including Tiffany Townsend, mezzo-sopranos Kelsey Lauritano and Hannah McDermott, tenors James Knight, Alexander McKissick, and Aaron Mor, and baritone Theo Hoffman.

Tickets are $20 for the public, $10 for students, and free for Juilliard students, faculty, and staff. Tickets are available for purchase online athttp://events.juilliard.edu, by calling (212) 769-7406, or in person at The Juilliard School Box Office, located in the lobby of Juilliard at 155 West 65th Street.
