March 2, 2024 Fred Miller: Lecture-in-Song

On March 2, CBJ-U hosted a “Lecture-in-Song” from Fred Miller. This event had originally been planned for March 2020. It was wonderful to see the event finally come to fruition!
Members and non-members were enthralled by Fred’s encyclopedic knowledge and talent. Fred shared biographical information and historical insight on the Jewish song writers from the Golden Era of popular music between the World Wars. Playing the piano donated by Dr. Nathan Brown in 1957 (which has held its tune remarkably well), Fred also entertained the audience with numerous performances of the songs from this period.
With dozens of programs to choose from, it seems likely that Fred will be invited back. If you missed this event, there may be other opportunities in the future!
