Music by Kurt Weill and his contemporaries
A new and exciting concert performance by chamber music ensemble The Hague String Trio, featuring vocalist Lucy Woodward, bassist/arranger Marijn van Prooijen, drummer Vinsent Planjer, and director Annechien Koerselman, centered around the music of Kurt Weill, his contemporaries, and his collaborations with songwriters including Bertolt Brecht, Langston Hughes, and Ira Gershwin.
The concert features classics such as Alabama Song, September Song, Lost in the Stars, and Charlie Chaplin’s nostalgic Smile. Highlighting artists who emerged from turbulent times - escaping persecution, crossing continents and genres, from classical to jazz, from Europe to America - this program reflects on those who were forced to emigrate in search of a better life while Lost in the Stars.
