On Monday, July 27 at 5 pm, Morningside Heights will host the first of our Lincoln Center Local screenings.  This program brings the best of Lincoln Center's recorded programs to our library.  We will begin with a screening of One Singular Sensation: Celebrating Marvin Hamlisch.  In this program, Broadway luminaries such as Audra McDonald and Kelli O'Hara join the New York Philharmonic to celebrate the life and work of one of America's most popular composers. Hamlisch wrote the music for A Chorus Line, They're Playing Our Song and Sweet Smell of Sucess on Broadway, and also wrote many movie scores and songs, including "The Way We Were".

The series will continue on Monday, August 24, with a screening of Unsung Carolyn Leigh.  Leigh is best known as a frequent collaborator of Cy  Coleman, and lyricist of such classic hits as "Hey, Look Me Over" and "The Best is Yet to Come."  But this American Songbook evening focuses on some lesser known songs, including some from an unproduced musical version of The Great Gatsby.  Performers include Donna Bullock, Adam Kantor and Erin Davie.

Please join us for as we welcome Lincoln Center to our neighborhood.
