Otto Harbach

ASCAP Foundation Director Colleen McDonough with Bill Harbach.

Founding ASCAP lyricist member Otto Harbach (1873 - 1963) was celebrated with a musical program and an exhibition of memorabilia titled Yesterdays: The Magical World of Otto Harbach at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts last November. Many of Harbach's notable song collaborations with such composers as Sigmund Romberg, Rudolf Friml, Karl Hoschna and Jerome Kern were performed, including "Indian Love Call," "Cuddle Up a Little Closer," "Love Nest," "Who?" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Participating as a guest speaker was William O. Harbach, the lyricist's son. Pictured in front of the Library's memorabilia display case are ASCAP Foundation Director Colleen McDonough with Bill Harbach.
