New York Festival of Song: Fugitives

A revival of an acclaimed program last heard in 2008, the playlist includes songs from the concert stage, the movies, Broadway and Berlin’s cabarets, tracing the varied fates of the composers who faced destruction during Hitler’s rise to power. Some began new lives and brilliant careers abroad, others were to meet with darker ends. Featuring works by Kurt Weill, Franz Schreker, Alexander Zemlinsky, Friedrich Hollaender, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Korngold, Hanns Eisler and many others. With baritone Justin Austin and mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey, and pianists Steven Blier and Bénédicte Jourdois.
