Weill holds a solid place in the pantheon of 20th-century composers, as a serious classical composer and a Broadway tunesmith – a harbinger of today’s boundary-crossing musicians. 

Weill, born in 1900 to a musical Jewish family Germany; ­Lenya, born to a working-class Catholic family in Vienna, in 1898; they shared the troubled sweep of European history from just before World War I to the failure of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis.

This cabaret of songs and stories from their lives and love affairs makes for a powerful performance onstage by world-renowned vocalist Ute Gfrerer and accompanied by Scott Nicholas on the baby grand.
