<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="147" who is Evan Berlin >? </h1>
Irving Berlin was a giant in American pop, and his music laid the foundation for the entire American Songbook. Most of the hundreds of songs he composed have become classics and have been covered countless times by major singers.
Perhaps you have learned about Jerome Cohen, the composer who is called the "Beethoven" of the musical theater world through the last concert (Read Portal: A Tasting Concert to Commemorate the "Beethoven" in the history of musical theater!). Broadway actor video to help, a tribute to the classics together)
Cohen once personally praised: "Evan Berlin has no place in the American music scene, he is the American music scene." Violinist Isaac Stern also said that "American music (popular songs) flows out of his piano keys", and composer George Gershwin called him "Schubert of America".
Of course, you don't have to worry about whether there will be a "threshold for appreciation", come and listen to this song, maybe you can appreciate the simplicity of Evan Berlin.

Bing Crosby, "Bass Lyric King" sings Evan Berlin's "White Chrisitmas"
[The song "White Christmas"] is a classic song written by Evan Berlin for the 1942 musical film HolidayInn, recorded and sung by Bing Crosby, the lyrics and melody are sincerely euphemistic, tender and stretchy, with a sense of Christmas atmosphere, conveying a sense of sadness and nostalgia, the song won the 15th Academy Award for Best Film Song that year. In the middle and late 20th century, the song continued to flourish and became one of the non-religious songs that must be sung at Christmas in Europe and the United States.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="148" > from newspaperboys in the theater district to composers in "Tinker Alley."</h1>
Born in Russia on May 11, 1888, Evan Berlin came to New York with his parents at the age of 5 to settle in the theater district of Lower East Side of Manhattan. At the age of 13, his father died tragically.
Evan Berlin in his youth
In order to share the pressure of supporting her mother's family, Berlin became a newspaper boy, selling newspapers in the theater district. Gradually he would sing songs to sell newspapers, not only increasing sales, but also getting extra tips. He told his mother that his dream was to one day become a singer in the salon.
Jewish Theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan
After working as a newsboy for a while, Berlin felt that the money earned from the job was really little help to the family. He began to sing in the salon for the guests. The songs he chose were all heard in the streets and alleys of the theater, and slowly he began to imitate the popular songs of the time, sometimes adapting them. After work, I taught myself piano, and after the bar closed, I sat down at the piano and began to improvise tunes.
Berlin had no formal training in composition, so he could not read or write scores, and the upright piano he used was a piano with a transpose device for him to compose.

Evan Berlin later became a songwriter for Tin Pan Alley. In 1911, he created "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and became famous, and invitations from Broadway and Hollywood came pouring in.

In 1885, a number of music publishers gathered on West 28th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan. Every day, a different piano tune is heard in the publishing room here, which sounds like the sound of bottles and cans in the kitchen, so it is called Tin pan Alley. There are many composers such as Evan Berlin, Jerome Cohen, George Gershwin and others who started their careers here and rose to fame on Broadway.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="149" > wrote the "meeting song" for the musical actors</h1>
Evan Berlin wrote dozens of musicals during his lifetime, the most famous of which was Annie Get Your Gun, published in 1946. Most of the songs in the play are improvisations, the most famous of which is "There's No Business Like Show Business", which attracts every audience with its beautiful melody and straightforward lyrics, becoming an iconic song in the musical theater industry.
Most American Broadway actors sing this song because it's about their jobs, their lives.
The lyrics say: "No industry is like the performance industry, everything is for attraction, and traffic will give way; when you secretly get an extra curtain call, you will be so happy; when they are depressed, they still have to smile; when you suddenly receive news before the performance that your beloved uncle has passed away; or your parents are divorced, you are heartbroken, but you still have to play, because the show is still going on.
We can feel the success of the actor from the lyrics of this song, as well as the sadness of the actor.
From the perspective of the melody of the song, this is still a cheerful and joyful song. Even if one thing or another happens before the performance, as long as the curtain is opened, the drama in the theater is still the same.
The second session will be performed at the newly completed Shanghai Mingju Shanghai Broadcasting Arts Center Multimedia Immersive Theater.
1. "Sound" immersive experience
The holographic surround sound system and diversified media fusion system in the venue allow you to feel the immersive music experience of "sound".
2. 0 distance interaction
There are only 11 rows of seats on the scene, and the first row is only 1 meter away from the actors on the stage, and the farthest distance is only 10 meters. The audience can clearly feel the emotions and states of the singers and performers on the stage, and breathe and share the same fate with them in the same melody and lyrics. The actors will not only walk into the audience and interact with the audience at a distance of 0 distance, but also invite the audience to the stage to participate in the performance.
The unique "Teaching Singing Session" will unlock the song "White Christmas" in a new "pose" so that you can continue to live a "song addiction" on the spot.
