Zoom Lecture with The Women's Institute

Join me for a zoom lecture about the orchestrations and music in My Fair Lady on Thursday, July 23rd at 10:00 am.

Touted as the “perfect musical,” My Fair Lady has been wildly popular since it’s debut on Broadway in 1956. It is a very good example of Musical Semiotics, or painting emotions in music, especially when you take a look at the genius orchestrations. During our talk, I will focus on the wonderful 1964 movie with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn (with singing dubbed out by the inimitable Marni Nixon). Join me in a wonderful romp through the music of My Fair Lady, as we take it apart and really look how the music gives life to the characters, with or without any spoken dialogue.
