Tin Pan Alley: Birthplace of American Popular Music

Tin Pan Alley is the cradle of the music industry in the United States. Here, American popular music as we know it was first created and promoted. This one block of 28th Street offers a glimpse into what has become a worldwide cultural force – pop music – at its specific place of creation. As an enclave of 19th-century structures, it is also largely intact as architecture. Author and guide Miriam Berman will tell the story of Tin Pan Alley sheet music publishers, songwriters and performers who worked on 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue to create what would become “The Great American Songbook.”
