Richard Rogers had two main writing partners throughout his career, Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein. When Hart died in 1943, Rogers turned to Hammerstein for the partnership. All together, these songwriting partners wrote music for some of the most well-known theater productions and films of their time; South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music, Pal Joey, A Connecticut Yankee, Oklahoma, Carousel, and songs like My Funny Valentine, My Romance, You are Too Beautiful, Where or When, Some Enchanted Evening. Playing for this program will be Taylor Barnett on trumpet, John Toomey on piano, Jimmy Masters on bass, and Frank Russo on drums.
