Porgy and Bess represents George Gershwin's longing to compose an American folk opera on a suitable theme.

The first was last Sunday at Boston Avenue Methodist Church and the second was Thursday evening at the Performing Arts Center. We didn't make the second. The third was the one I really wanted to see because it was at the recently restored Mayo Hotel, at 115 West 5th Street. The Mayo was built in 1924...

A big trend in classical music over the past several decades is historical authenticity, the attempt to re-create how works sounded when they were new. This usually involves repertoire from distant centuries, but pieces from relatively recent times can come in for the authentic treatment, too. A case in point is the latest Baltimore Symphony Orchestra program, devoted entirely to George Gershwin.

George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter — the names bandied around for the title of Greatest American Songwriter are a familiar bunch. Less well-known are the handles of the Sherman Brothers. Yet their songs are just as memorable — maybe moreso. As "Toy Story" director John Lasseter says in the documentary "The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story," once you hear a...

Not many people are aware that the song "Happy Birthday To You" is not in the public domain but actually owned by a music publishing company. That is why if you appear on TV to play an instrument, you are told not to play Happy Birthday, since the TV station doesn't want to pay a royalty on the song.

There are so many interesting stories of real people in the world, that the biopic is one genre I'm always interested in keeping a close eye on.
