Documentary Series: Irving Berlin: An American Song.

To open our new documentary series we are showing Irving Berlin: An American Song.  In a career that spanned half a century, Irving Berlin wrote some of the most recognizable and enduring songs of all time.  The composer of classics like "Cheek to Cheek", "God Bless America", and "White Christmas" never learned to read music beyond a basic level, but that didn't stop 35 of his compositions from reaching number one on the charts.  Filled with wonderful music, illuminating photos and rare clips throughout his life, this is a fascinating portrait of the legendary composer.  Join us for this premier event to learn about the man Jerome Kern said of "Irving Berlin has no place in American music, he is American music."
