The first part of the program will feature music from Europe, Polynesia and Latin America. The second portion is a tribute to Irving Berlin, a Russian immigrant who dominated American popular music in the middle of the 20th century. The finale of the song/dance performance will be a selection of songs from American-authored Broadway musicals, such as "Hello Dolly" and "The Music Man."
