Selections from The Great American Songbook will add Glenn MIller, Irving Berlin and others - only the best - on into the 50's. Ragtime concerts with Peter Bergin are interactive and insightful. Peter gets audiences moving to the beat and puts smiles on faces every time with his charming stories and anecdotes. Audiences gain a better understanding of our American musical heritage. It is a celebration of life through music and stories.
