Riccards to Speak on Sinatra
The Hall Institute is a non-partisan, not-for-profit foundation established to explore social, economic, educational and cultural issues. Our weekly email newsletter is sent to organizations and individuals with an interest in the material posted on our website at www.hallnj.org.
Frank Sinatra will be the topic on Saturday, September 25, when Hall Institute Executive Director Michael P. Riccards speaks at the 11th Annual Mercer County Italian-American Festival.
Riccards, the author of a study titled Frank Sinatra and the Moods of America, will speak at 4 p.m. at the festival, which takes place at Mercer County Park in West Windsor,
“For more than two generations of Americans, Frank Sinatra was a highly visible celebrity and artist, far outlasting any other entertainer in U.S. history,” Riccards said. “My essay seeks to explain Sinatra’s longevity as a performer and the reasons why he was so successful throughout a very tumultuous era.”
The festival runs from Friday, September 24, through Sunday, September 26.
