German-born cabaret legend Ute Lemper’s performing career grows out of a passionate and enduring commitment to art, politics and history, and out of a contentious and complicated relationship with her homeland and its past. Her panache, versatility and sophisticated repertoire – including Berlin cabaret songs and the dark gems of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill – have led her to international acclaim as a recording artist, and in the theatre, cabaret and film worlds.
Ms. Lemper will be joined by guitarist Mark Lambert, pianist Vana Gierig, bassist Gregory Jones, and Todd Turkisher on creative drums.
