The Christine Spero Duo will perform in the musical show entitled “Back to Bacharach” at the Case Memorial Library in Orange on Saturday, June 21 at 2 p.m.
Winner of six Grammys and three Academy Awards, Bacharach, in collaboration with Hal David, wrote hundreds of pop songs from the 50s through the 80s. Over a thousand artists have recorded his music; also, in 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Bacharach and David at #32 on the list of 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
This show pays tribute to some of their greatest inspirations. The audience will remember such iconic love songs as “What the World Needs Now Is Love” and “The Look of Love” as well as many others that became interwoven into the mainstream culture of the time.
The two performers are singer, songwriter and pianist Christine Spero and her partner multi-instrumentalist Elliot Spero. They have been recording and playing live shows together for over 30 years. Their diverse repertoire includes jazz, Latin and Brazilian classics as well as Motown. They have also explored such famous songsters as James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan and The Beatles.
The event takes place in the library’s meeting room. It is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register at casememoriallibrary.org or call 203-891-2170. The library is located at 176 Tyler City Rd. in Orange.
