Watch this original birthday greeting sent to legendary composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim by the freshman Ensemble Voice class at Manhattan School of Music! He turned 90 on Sunday, March 22 🎉

The video (recorded on February 27, 2020) was directed by MSM freshman Musical Theatre student Mallorie Mendoza, with videography by classmate Galvin Yuan. MSM faculty member Judith Clurman leads the class.

Enjoy their spirited rendition of Stephen Sondheim’s “Our Time” from the musical Merrily We Roll Along.

Judith produced the video after a request by the Hal Leonard choral department to join them in celebrating Sondheim’s milestone birthday. Her class, she says, “is one fabulous group of students.”
