Previously known as the Feinstein Foundation for the Education and Preservation of the Great American Songbook and as the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, the organization took its current name in 2014. [1]

The Songbook Foundation's mission is "to inspire and educate by celebrating the music of the Great American Songbook." [2]

History and operation

Michael Feinstein founded the organization in 2007. Upon Feinstein's appointment as artistic director of Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in 2009, the organization made a commitment to move its headquarters and archives on the Center's campus in Carmel, Indiana. [3]

The Great American Songbook Foundation's administrative headquarters houses a reference library, study and listening rooms for researchers, archival storage space, and the Songbook Exhibit Gallery, an exhibit space featuring rotating interactive presentations about the music, its creators and the performers of the Great American Songbook. [4]

In 2023, the Songbook Foundation announced its agreement with the City of Carmel to open a stand-alone music museum. [5]

Education and outreach

The Songbook Exhibit Gallery features rotating exhibits. These exhibits helps guests to place the music of this era in context with the events that occurred in the 20th-century United States. The Songbook Foundation offers corresponding educational programs and guided tours for school groups, civic and professional organizations, and members of the general public.

Since 2011, the Songbook Foundation has presented the following exhibits: "G.I. Jive: The Music and Entertainers of World War II" (2011), "The Great American Songbook" (2012), [6] "Blast from the Past: Roaring Hot '20s Jazz" (2013), [7] "A Change Is Gonna Come: 1960s Broadway Musicals" (2014), [8] "Gus Kahn: The Man Behind the Music" (2015), [9] "The Great Indiana Songbook: Two Centuries of Hoosier Music" (2016), [10] "Ella Sings the Songbook" (2017), [11] "The Andrews Sisters: Queens of the Jukebox" (2019) [12] "Of Thee I Sing: Politics on Stage" (2019-2021). [13] The current display, "From the Jazz Age to Streaming: The Soundtrack of the 20s-20s," was first installed in 2021. [14] Additionally, the Songbook Foundation lends traveling exhibits and provides adapted online exhibits and Songbook Library & Archives collections highlights. [15]

These exhibits focus on different time periods, styles, and artists. [16] In addition to the interactive display which houses clips and short biographies of several decades of singers and songwriters, each exhibit displays artifacts from the Songbook Library & Archives that relate to the music and musicians being highlighted in the Songbook Gallery exhibits.

The Songbook Academy Summer Intensive Program

The Songbook Academy is an educational summer music intensive held by the Great American Songbook Foundation. Formerly known as the High School Vocal Academy and Competition, the program originated in 2009 and trains cohorts of up to 40 high school vocalists annually. [18] The Songbook Foundation states on its website, "At the Songbook Academy, we believe that every young singer has a unique story to tell through music."

The Songbook Academy has undergone significant evolution since its founding. During its inception, the program invited high school students to compete in regional competitions to culminate in a final competition at the Songbook Foundation's headquarters. [19] The program changed in 2015 to accommodate 40 students in a single location at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts. [20] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program temporarily transitioned to an online format in 2020, eliminating its competitive element. [21] Since resuming in-person programming in 2022, the summer intensive has maintained a non-competitive focus on education. [22]

In June 2016, Maddie Baillio was cast as Tracy Turnblad in NBC's production of Hairspray Live! [23]

Winners of the earlier competition format were commemorated as Great American Songbook Youth Ambassadors. Each Youth Ambassador won a $3,000 scholarship and a trip to New York City to perform alongside Michael Feinstein. [19] Today, the Songbook Foundation celebrates the professional growth of each student by providing alumni avenues to share achievements and coordinating additional networking and performance opportunities.

The Great American Songbook Hall of Fame is a tribute to people who have contributed to the genre, memorializing composers, performers, and lyricists who have added to the history of the Songbook. [37] Artists are nominated and selected based on the following criteria:

In the past, the Songbook Foundation and Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts hosted live performances in celebration of the lives and careers of the artists selected for induction into the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame. Nominees, or their representatives, were invited to Carmel and honored with tribute performances celebrating their achievements. [40] [41] In recent years, the Songbook Hall of Fame has evolved into an online educational resource for fans around the world with programming to celebrate inductees hosted virtually and in-person year round.
