The Great American Songbook

The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College presents The Great American Songbook. Join pianist Scott Ballin and host Gene Santini on stage with our up and coming rising vocal stars.

The Great American Songbook refers to the popular music songwriting period between the 1930's and the 1950's when the craft of songwriting reached a remarkable peak of perfection. Songs came mostly from Hollywood, Broadway and the heartland of America, and typically featured strong melodies and intricate harmonies married to carefully crafted lyrics.

Five Towns College is devoted to preserving and presenting The Great American Songbook with the best of Broadway and Hollywood. Reserved seating.
