Das Berliner Requiem

The Dessoff Choirs under music director James Bagwell presents Kurt Weill’s daring Das Berliner Requiem with libretto by Bertolt Brecht, a piece originally written for German radio in 1928. This unique event features chorus, soloists, orchestra, harmonium and banjo. The evening is preceded by a pre-concert interview at 7:15 pm with distinguished scholar Kim Kowalke, author of Kurt Weill in Europe.
