Sheldon Harnick and the American Songbook

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Sheldon Harnick is one of the last living lyricists of the Golden Age of the American Songbook. His greatest claim to fame is probably Fiddler on the Roof. His Broadway career spans more than half a century – he collaborated on songs for the hits Fiorello (1959) and She Loves Me (1963), among many others.

On April 8, 9, and 10, Sheldon Harnick will be co-hosting Lyrics and Lyricists with Rob Fisher at the 92 St. Y. For tickets and information: »www.92Y.org/Lyrics or 212-415-5500.
