Pianist Tyler Driskill presents a companion concert to his lecture series with Brent Wagner featuring timeless songs by Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. The collective contributions of these writers total nearly 80 stage shows and approximately 3,000 songs, works that have inspired generations of writers and constitute the very foundation of the Great American Songbook canon. Driskill will be joined by students from the U-M Musical Theatre Department and veteran Broadway drummer, Joe Mowatt.
Tyler Driskill, piano/vocals; Joe Mowatt, drums; and UM Musical Theatre student vocalists: Aliyah Douglas, Zee Happonen, Kevin Ludwig, Elle Michaels
