In his day, Irving Berlin composed some of the most popular songs of all time. As fellow composer Jerome Kern said: “Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he is American music.” Incredibly, the composer of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” never learned to read music – but that didn’t stop his rise to popular musical immortality. Come experience a fascinating portrait of Irving Berlin himself – the man, the music and his times!
