Conceived by artistic director Rob Fisher, the concerts are part of the 92nd Street Y's famed "Lyrics & Lyricists" series. Fiddler on the Roof lyricist Sheldon Harnick will host the performances, which feature Fisher and Chris Fenwick on piano. The June 12 and 13 concerts will be held at 8 PM, the June 14 performances at 2 and 8 PM.

The concerts will include the songs Ira Gershwin wrote with his brother George as well as his subsequent collaborations with Burton Lane and Kurt Weill. In a statement, artistic director Fisher said, "There’s a certain joie de vivre in Ira’s work with George, which comes partly from George’s music. They were a perfect team for the 20 years they worked together, and although he never found an equally perfect partner, he continued to grow and develop as a lyricist. I’m interested in how he was a different lyricist with different composers, and in how the music changed his approach to words."
