Old Wicked Songs

Stephen Hoffman, a young American pianist troubled by artistic block, travels to Vienna and enlists the help of an elderly signing instructor to help him return to the stage. The student-teacher relationship evolves, though not without conflict, as Stephen and his instructor, Josef Mashkan, clash not only over musical style and technique but religion and history. Ultimately, Stephen’s journey of self-discovery and rejuvenated passion for music help Professor Mashkan come to terms with his own past. Jon Marans’ Old Wicked Songs is directed by Mark Ramont.
