About this event

Korngold’s ultra-romantic Symphony was completed in 1952 and written in memory of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. And Kurt Weill’s satirical ballet chanté finds the multi-talented singer, songwriter and actor Storm Large in the role of Anna (coincidentally an alumnus from the same college of Roosevelt). Rarely performed a cappella songs by Weill, Jurmann, and Tiomkin complete the concert, performed by Hudson Shad Vocal Quartet.
