Monday, May 9, 2022 in Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center in NYC. What a glorious night it was as the American Songbook Association honored multi-award winning songwriter Stephen Schwartz with its Lifetime Achievement Award in front of a packed house. Also presented that evening was the first-ever Bill Sensenbrenner Dream Maker Award to James Brent White. Here are photos of the evening. Michael Roberts was music director and John Boswell provided accompaniment for several artists. Scott Coulter directed and served as the host. (All photos by Genevieve Rafter Keddy)
