Details: Art of Time Ensemble announces its latest production of 1920s cabaret and jazz-inspired music, Dance to the Abyss, as part of its 25th anniversary final concert season. This new musical production from the Weimar Republic is set to captivate audiences.
Experience the music that captured the zeitgeist of a culture on a path to catastrophe. This program features music celebrated in the 1920s and later dismissed as “degenerate” by the Third Reich, including excerpts from The Threepenny Opera Suite by Kurt Weill and music by Mischa Spoliansky, Erwin Schulhoff and other artists whose names are largely lost to history.
Featuring a stellar lineup of acclaimed soloists Martha Burns, John Millard and Patricia O’Callaghan, paired with the exceptional musicians of the Art of Time Ensemble, Dance to the Abyss promises to push musical boundaries, and illustrate its censorship in the most visceral way possible.
