Concert Lectures

I write and perform thematic concert-lectures. In these shows, I take a topic and perform American popular songs that reflect, influenced or are in some other way related to it. Between songs I narrate historical details and tell jokes about both the songs and the events they represent. 

“America in Flight” is a concert-lecture performed June 9, 2013 at the Delaware Chautauqua, sponsored by the Lewes Historical Society. Commentary, jokes and historical anecdotes are by Michael Brook.  

Using live music, this concert-lecture  explores the relationship between space exploration and the social, technological, and popular culture  forces of the time. It was performed in June, 2018 to an English  class for international students at the University of Delaware.
