Willowbrook hosts ‘A Night at the Cabaret’ music event

On April 18, 85 people attended “A Night at the Cabaret,” which showcased Willowbrook’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble, CenterStage.

During the event, audience members enjoyed dinner and 15 selections performed by CenterStage, featuring the “Great American Songbook.” According to https://thesongbook.org/about/what-is-the-songbook/, “The ‘Great American Songbook’ is the canon of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century that have stood the test of time in their life and legacy. Often referred to as ‘American Standards,’ the songs published during the Golden Age of this genre include those popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1960s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre and Hollywood musical film.”

“It was a wonderful night showcasing our very talented students!” said Karyn Wolcott, Willowbrook Music Department Head.
