“With a Song in My Heart:
A Night with Richard Rodgers”
The music of Richard Rogers has become part and parcel of
America with songs like “My Funny Valentine” and “Bewitched,
Bothered, and Bewildered”. And, no wonder! As the prolific
composer of more than 900 songs and 43 musicals such as
“Oklahoma!” and “Sound of Music”, Rodgers gave voice to a
generation. You’ll want to sing along as the chorale celebrates
a night with Richard Rogers.
