A free, outdoor public concert will take place tomorrow at the Flatiron North Plaza on 23rd Street and Broadway in New York from noon to 4:00 p.m. The event will feature over two dozen leading performers of Tin Pan Alley music and the Great American Songbook.
It will be presented by the Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project in collaboration with the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership.
The concert will celebrate the official New York City landmark designation of Tin Pan Alley buildings at 47-55 West 28th Street and will also launch the Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project, a new nonprofit organization dedicated to the commemoration and continuation of the legacy of Tin Pan Alley, the birthplace of American popular music in New York in the late 19th and early 20th century.
The concert tomorrow will feature appearances by stars of the American Songbook, including Marilyn Maye, Danny Bacher, Aaron Lee Battle, Ken Bloom, Klea Blackhurst, Jim Brochu, Richard Carlin, Eric Comstock, Natalie Douglas, Cassidy Ewert, Willy Falk, DeWitt Fleming Jr., Eric Yves Garcia, Anita Gillette, Vince Giordano, Luke Hawkins, Robert Lamont, Gabrielle Lee, Larry Marshall, Sanborn McGraw, Jill O’Hara, Jeannie Otis, Jennifer Poroye, Steve Ross, Billy Stritch, TADA! Youth Theater Ensemble, Tony Waag & The American Tap Dance Foundation Ensemble and Terry Waldo & The Gotham City Band.
Tin Pan Alley was designated a New York City landmark in 2019 based on its preeminent role as the birthplace of American popular music. Also significant are contributions of Eastern European Jewish immigrant and African American composers, performers and sheet music publishers who worked there; these included Irving Berlin, Williams & Walker, George Gershwin, J. Rosamond Johnson, George M. Cohan and James Reese Europe, among many others. This history will be addressed tomorrow by author Ken Bloom, Columbia University historic preservation professor Andrew Dolkart and Harlem historian John Reddick.
“Following the long-sought landmark designation,” said George Calderaro, director of the Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project, “we created the Tin Pan Alley Project to share the history of the people, events and songs of Tin Pan Alley to support music and cultural literacy, and inspire current and future artists and musicians, as well as the public at large.”
The block of 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue that is home to five recently designated Tin Pan Alley landmarks will officially become part of the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District in 2022 following the New York City Council’s vote in July 2021 to approve expansion of the BID’s boundaries.
Formed in 2006, the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership is a nonprofit organization and BID whose mission is to enhance the reputation of Flatiron and NoMad as two of New York's most vital and exciting neighborhoods. This is accomplished by maintaining a clean and safe environment for the district's businesses, residents and visitors, by spearheading area improvement projects, and by marketing the diverse business and retail options in this vibrant and historic neighborhood.
