Our Mission
The Great American Songbook Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission
to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook.
We invite you to step inside a brand-new exhibit exploring the stories, songs and artists that helped shape the Great American Songbook.
Opening soon in the Traditions Senior Communities Songbook Gallery located inside the Payne & Mencias Palladium, Unforgettable celebrates the soundtrack of America, exploring the music that has inspired generations and helped define our nation's cultural identity.
Drawing from the extraordinary collections of the Songbook Library & Archives, the exhibit will feature rare artifacts, immersive displays and interactive experiences designed to connect visitors with the people and stories behind some of the most beloved music ever written.
Among the highlights will be a recreation of legendary songwriter Irving Berlin's studio, complete with his custom-built transposing piano. This remarkable instrument, used by the composer of classics such as "White Christmas," "God Bless America" and "There's No Business Like Show Business," offers a unique glimpse into the creative process of one of America's most influential songwriters.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of the Great American Songbook or discovering these timeless songs for the first time, Unforgettable will offer a new way to experience the music and stories that continue to resonate across generations.
Additional details, including opening dates and special evening hours, will be announced soon.
