| | | | | Jewish Comedians | | | | Great Jewish comics are easy to recognize: they're the ones who make us think deeply as we laugh heartily. Join Columbia Professor Jeremy Dauber as he looks at some of Jewish comedy's classic voices, the ones who helped define and redefine what it means to be Jewish, and funny, in America.
Please note that the comedians discussed in this series will not be present at the events.
Read more, watch a video and listen to a podcast with Jeremy on the 92Y Blog. | | | | | Dialogues with Design Legends | | | | | | | Artists' Visions | | | | Leading visual artists join in conversation with Robert Storr, dean of the Yale University School of Art. He is consulting curator of modern and contemporary art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and was director of the 2007 Venice Biennale. A highly respected educator and author, Storr has written monographs on Chuck Close, Philip Guston, Elizabeth Murray, Philip Pearl-stein and Gerhard Richter, among others. Each program begins with visuals and commentary by the artist.
The Artists’ Visions series is underwritten, in part, by the Robert Lehman Foundation, Inc. | | | William Wegman

Harold Arlen
Everyone knows the song "Over the Rainbow," but few people know who wrote it. Its author, Harold Arlen, composed more than 400 songs, including "Get Happy," "Stormy Weather," "It's Only a Paper Moon," "I've Got the World on a String" and "Last Night When We Were Young," as well as the entire score of The Wizard of Oz. Cover the life and work of this modest genius, a passionate family man and stalwart friend of many more famous colleagues.
Frank Loesser
Lyricist Frank Loesser's five great Broadway musicals—Where's Charley?, Guys and Dolls, The Most Happy Fella, Greenwillow and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying—are not only different from one another, but each was also a departure from the theater of its day. Over the course of his creative life, Loesser wrote the lyrics to more than 700 songs by composers such as Jules Styne, Hoagy Carmichael, Burton Lane and Arthur Schwartz. His works include "On a Slow Boat to China," "Two Sleepy People," "Heart and Soul," "I Don't Want to Walk Without You," "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year," and the 1948 Academy Award winner "Baby, It's Cold Outside." | | | | | | | | | | | |
