What The World Needs Now: The Burt Bacharach Songbook

This concert celebrates the timeless music of Burt Bacharach, one of the most influential composers of 20th-century popular music. Audiences can expect an evening of his greatest hits, including classics like "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" and "(They Long to Be) Close to You," performed by The Burt Bacharach Songbook.

The show highlights Bacharach's unique style, featuring atypical chord progressions and time signature changes influenced by jazz. His collaborations with lyricist Hal David produced dozens of Top 40 hits, many tailored for Dionne Warwick, and his songs have been recorded by over 1,000 artists.

This is a rare opportunity to hear Bacharach's sophisticated orchestral pop and easy listening masterpieces live. The concert brings to life the work of a six-time Grammy winner whose music shaped sunshine pop, soft rock, and chamber pop.
