What American Classics does is document people's dreams, and the way they've manifested
themselves in the humble popular song over the generations. Nobody does it better." (Richard Buell, Boston Globe)

American Classics was founded in 1996 by The Camptown Ladies (Mary Ann Lanier & Sylvie Stewart), Benjamin Sears, Bradford Conner and Margaret Ulmer as a summer concert series at the Swedenborg Chapel in Cambridge. The group has been a leading presenter of classic musicals in concert format. Irving Berlin's first two Broadway scores, “Watch Your Step” (not seen in Boston since 1915) and “Stop! Look! Listen!,” along with an overview of his four Music Box Revues were among the group's early productions. The first revival of Berlin's World War I shows, “Yip! Yip!
Yaphank!” (E.Y. “Yip” Harburg) was given in 2010, with a second production in 2019 for the show's 100th Anniversary. Other programs havefeatured salutes to songwriters, among them Jerome Kern, Alan Jay Lerner, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer and a special centenary salute to
Sammy Cahn (recorded in concert for CD release). Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and Ethel Merman are among the great performers also celebrated in concert.
