American Classics continues its 29th season, saluting songwriters who wrote both the words and the music, with All in One: Words and Music by Stephen Sondheim, Frank Loesser, Billy Joel, and more.
The others include Johnny Mercer, Tom Lehrer, and David Friedman. The stellar cast is Grace Allendorf, Bradford Conner, Brian De Lorenzo, Todd McNeil, Julia Nelson, Dan Perry, Ethan Sagin, and Benjamin Sears, with Catherine Stornetta on piano. Among the featured songs are Sondheim’s Losing My Mind, Old Friends, and Our Time, Loesser's Standing on the Corner and Slow Boat to China, Joel's And So It Goes, and Lehrer’s popular Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.
All performances will be held at First Church Congregational (11 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA) and First Parish Church (75 Great Road, Bedford, MA), both of which are wheelchair accessible. Tickets are $25 (seniors/students) to $30. For tickets and information, visit amclass.org. CDs
