What audiences are saying about Lyric Fest
“It's much more than just a concert. It's the feeling of being alive.”

“You are at the center of the world where music, poetry, and thought come together. You are inches away from the art, and there's no other group that is giving you that kind of emotional immediacy.”
Lyric Fest is a place to experience the unique power of the human voice in song. We bring together great singers, composers, history, biography, and humor. Here we tell our stories in song.
Proof of vaccination and masking is required for all Lyric Fest performances.

This year’s tribute to the Great American Songbook brings you the the tart, heart-wrenching lyrics of Lorenz Hart, spun into effortless melody by Richard Rodgers. A partnership like no other, these two produced over 500 songs and 28 Broadway Shows, collaborating for more than two decades before Hart’s tragic and untimely death. Their marvelous songs stand out as a unique mingling of creative spark. Enjoy the songs and story of this dynamic and prickly duo, with Suzanne DuPlantis & Brian Major, with special guest collaborators - pianist, John Conahan and Ron Kerber on sax. We hope you’ll stay and have a toast to Lyric Fest at the close of each concert.
