From Avenue A to Broadway: Songs and Stories of Tin Pan Alley

  • Wilks Studio - Cincinnati Music Hall 1241 Elm Street Cincinnati, OH, 45202 United States (map)

Simon Barrad will be featured in this intimate performance presented by Cincinnati Opera of the music that brought rise to the golden age of Broadway.

At the turn of the 20th century, an unassuming Manhattan neighborhood was quickly becoming the vibrant epicenter of American popular music. Tin Pan Alley gave voice to a community of diverse composers, lyricists, and performers, mingling the traditions of Yiddish theater with Western classical music, ragtime, and jazz to shape the soundtrack of an era. Cincinnati Opera features Queen City Cabaret’s Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys along with special guests to shine a spotlight on the artists whose resilience, innovation, and spirit of collaboration spurred the golden age of American popular song.
