Fugitives

 

Tuesday and Thursday, November 18 & 20, 2008, 8PM

 

An evening of songs from the concert stage, the movies, Broadway, and Berlin's cabarets that trace the varied fates of the gifted composers who fled destruction during Hitler’s rise to power--some to begin new lives and brilliant careers abroad, others to meet with darker ends. Music by Kurt Weill, Franz Schreker, Arnold Zemlinsky, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Korngold, Hanns Eisler, Friedrich Hollaender, and many others.

 

Artists: Kate Lindsey, mezzo-soprano; Joseph Kaiser, tenor; Steven Blier, piano
