The Dichter Project: Bertolt Brecht
Sunday April 25, 2021 4:00PM
This program explores two essential musical partnerships with the 20th-century’s greatest literary radical. Hanns Eisler’s Holywooder Liederbuch uses Brecht’s experience as a refugee during World War II to explore the modern condition. Kurt Weill’s Jazz-infused Die Dreigroschenoper acted as Brecht’s Credo, a slap in the face to polite society and conventional drama. Presented by BPL Presents.
