American Songbook Preservation

The American Songbook Preservation Society is a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to preserving and promoting the Great American Songbook, a collection of iconic Broadway and Hollywood musicals and revues. Through their inaugural benefit concert and ongoing efforts, they aim to continue the legacy of this uniquely American cultural treasure for future generations.

Featuring renowned singers Paula West and Ron Kaplan, the concert at the world-famous Kuumbwa Jazz Center showcases the music of legendary composers and lyricists such as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Harold Arlen. With a personal pledge of support from Wynton Marsalis, the Musical Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the American Songbook Preservation Society strives to raise $25 million to ensure the enduring preservation of this cherished musical heritage.
