New York of Light: The Love and Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman

1 upcoming performance in New York

At 92NY, *New York of Light: The Love and Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman* traces the personal and professional partnership of Alan Bergman and Marilyn Keith Bergman, married from 1958 until Marilyn’s death. The program listens closely to songs they wrote for film, television, and the stage, work that earned them four Emmys, three Oscars, and two Grammys. Featured performers include the Bergmans themselves, grounding the evening in firsthand memory. One clear takeaway is how their lyrics made interior life speak in plain language, a sensibility that shaped American popular song.
