Discussion | A Conversation with Mark Eden Horowitz on The Letters of Oscar Hammerstein II

Thursday, March 30, 2023, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm

Free

In 2022, Library of Congress Senior Specialist Mark Eden Horowitz's edited collection of the letters of Oscar Hammerstein II quickly sold out of its first few print runs and has already begun to reshape our understanding of this remarkable playwright and lyricist. In this conversation with Billy Rose Theatre Division Curator Doug Reside, Horowitz will discuss the process of curating his book and what he learned about Hammerstein in the process.

Mark Eden Horowitz is a senior music specialist in the Music Division of the Library of Congress, where among the collections for which he's been archivist or co-archivist are the papers of Leonard Bernstein, Vernon Duke, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, and Vincent Youmans. Among the collections he's acquired for the Library are the papers of Howard Ashman, Adam Guettel, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Larson, Arthur Laurents, Andrew Lippa, Hal Prince, Neil Simon, and Jeanine Tesori. He's the author of the award-winning book Sondheim on Music--described as "essential" in The New York Times--and for ten years was the contributing editor for The Sondheim Review. Horowitz taught the history of musical theater at Catholic and Georgetown universities, and has guest lectured at Harvard, Princeton, and Skidmore.
