Join us for an intimate one-night only concert featuring the exciting new work of emerging songwriters from around the world in genres from pop to folk to music theatre to country, and beyond. SONGWRITERS IN CONCERT, now in its fourteenth year, is the closing celebration of The Johnny Mercer Foundation Songwriters Project, a weeklong intensive for emerging professional songwriters in all genres held annually each June at Northwestern University. The highly competitive program attracts applicants from around the world and invites songwriters or songwriting teams to spend a week in residence working with award-winning professional master teachers. The program honors the legacy of Johnny Mercer by fostering the tradition of mentorship that Johnny was committed to throughout his career. Master teachers in past years have included artists Stephen Bray, Craig Carnelia, Marcy Heisler, Jon Lind, Andrew Lippa, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Amanda McBroom, Shelly Peiken, Lari White and David Zippel.
