Irving Berlin: From Rags To Ritz

Toe-tapping, crowd-pleasing, and brimming with optimism & zeal, Berlin's songs still speak to us as if they were brand new. Alexander's Ragtime Band (now 100 years old!), Blue Skies, Play a Simple Melody, and Puttin' on the Ritz, harken back to the songwriter's earliest days when ragtime & dixieland echoed through Tin Pan Alley. Playable as band alone or with optional strings and/or choir.
