Burt Bacharach composed for countless important artists during his storied 80-year career—which began in his teens—but he and his lyricist Hal David reserved some of their most visionary work for the magnificent Dionne Warwick.
Lecturer, concert pianist, and Bacharach and Warwick fan Rachel Franklin explores the unique power and depth of their creative relationship and the extraordinary legacy of songbook masterpieces that these great artists have bequeathed us. Among the many beloved songs covered in the program, highlights include “Walk on By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Alfie,” “Don't Make Me Over,” and “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.”
British-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music, film scores, and the fine arts.
