NorthStars at the Palladium

Time: 9:15 am – 2:00 pm

On Friday, November 17, NorthStars will travel to the Great American Songbook at the Paladium in Carmel.

The Great American Songbook is a concept, an archive, a library and someday, a museum. The staff is actively collecting American music – sheet music, scores, records, discs, films, videos – published from 1900 to the early 1960’s. Included, but not limited to, are composers George Gershwin and Cole Porter, jazz artists Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, pop singers Frank Sinatra and Pegge Lee, and iconic musicals from the forties and fifties such as “South Pacific” and “My Fair Lady.” Elvis, this is not.

The NorthStars will be attending a program featuring the career and music of Meredith Wilson, best known for “Music Man” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” An archivist will speak, and participants will have an opportunity to listen to and view artists on their own. The program is free, but donation are welcome.

The church bus will leave Northminster at 9:15 am, go the Paladium, and afterward, adjourn to a nearby restaurant for lunch. We plan to return to Northminster by 2 pm. For reservations and more information, call Lowell and Pennie Lumley (317-549-2864) or Eileen Alsop (317-255-3248).
