Freilache Menschen Lunch & Program

Jerome Kern’s Music and Life,
Presented by Fred Stern

Composer Jerome Kern wrote the music for over 1000 popular songs, including “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, “All The Things You Are”, and “Ol’ Man River”.

Fred Stern will talk about the life of Jerome Kern and show film clips illustrating his music, as it was performed on Broadway and in Hollywood.

Kern (1885-1945) was born a generation after Victor Herbert and a generation before Richard Rodgers. You will see how Kern led the development of the first truly American theater music.
