John Bucchino Master Class

John Bucchino -- acclaimed songwriter and composer of Broadway's Tony nominated hit, "A Catered Affair" -- presents a one-of-a-kind master class. In this up-close, intimate evening of artistic exploration, John will coach up to twelve hand-picked singers in lyric analysis and performance technique to help them perfect songs from his extensive repertoire - and you're invited to watch!

Experience first-hand how one of the finest contemporary cabaret and musical theater writers of our generation works with singers to bring out the best in his songs.

Each professional-level singer will begin by performing one of John's songs. Then he will work with them as a director and musical director would to improve all aspects of the presentation. Except in this case, the person directing is also the writer of the material! And no one knows exactly what the writer meant when they wrote a song as well as the writer himself. This is an extraordinary opportunity to gain insight into the depth and intention behind John Bucchino's work straight from John Bucchino.

After the coaching, the singer will present the song again and audience/observers will discover what an astounding transformation this kind of work can achieve.

John rarely comes to the West Coast and most of his master classes are held in colleges and universities and not open to the public. Don't miss this rare chance to gain insight into the artistic process while enjoying some of the best music in town in one of Hollywood's finest cabarets night spots! (food and drink available)
