Performed by jazz cabaret duo Ann Osmond & Dennis Yerry and joined by writer-performer Robert Burke Warren, this elegant and festive evening will feature an eclectic mix of memorable movie music, straddling many decades and styles. “From Fred Astaire and Judy Garland to Tom Jones and Dionne Warwick, from Irving Berlin and Harold Arlen to Burt Bacharach and Simon & Garfunkel; we’ve had a great time compiling this world-class material,” say Osmond and Yerry. “And it’s such a treat collaborating with Robert Warren. The three of us have wanted to work together for some time and the FILM CENTER campaign provides the perfect opportunity.” Ann Osmond is a singer and actor with roots in the theatre and Dennis Yerry is an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. Their collaboration results in fresh interpretations of beloved songs and their intimate cabaret style has an air of timeless elegance. The duo performs at venues throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City and also at private and corporate events of all sizes. www.annosmond.com Robert Burke Warren is a writer, performer, teacher and musician.
