Songbook Showcase

The Songbook Showcase brings together 40 young musicians from the Songbook Academy for an evening of individual performances on the Payne & Mencias Palladium stage. Each student will perform a solo featuring music from the Great American Songbook, showcasing the skills and artistry they've developed through the academy's rigorous training. Beyond the student performances, families will enjoy special guest appearances from Michael Feinstein, founder of the Great American Songbook Foundation and a five-time GRAMMY nominee, as well as Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez, who has performed in major productions including Hamilton and Wicked. This is a wonderful opportunity to support young musicians while experiencing live music in a world-class venue. General admission is just $5 per person, making it an affordable family outing. If you can't attend in person, a free livestream will be available for viewers across the country, so you won't miss out on the performances or guest artist appearances.
