KURT WEILL'S SONGS OF GLASS AND IRON

Kurt Weill's Songs of Glass and Iron reimagines the music of Kurt Weill through a contemporary lens. Blending iconic songs with newly composed electronic and glass harmonica soundscapes, the performance moves between cabaret, memory, and modern urban life.

Soprano Reilly Nelson and composer-pianist Friedrich Heinrich Kern guide the audience through a sequence of imagined rooms—intimate spaces where love, displacement, labor, and loss are laid bare. Weill’s biting theatricality meets fragile, transparent sound worlds, creating an atmosphere that is at once seductive and unsettling.

Part concert, part music-theatre, Songs of Glass and Iron asks what remains of human intimacy in a world shaped by markets, migration, and forgetting. The result is a powerful, reflective evening that feels both historically grounded and urgently of our time.
