Sep 16 & 17, 7:30pm, Sep 18, 3pm
New Century Chamber Orchestra opens its 30th Anniversary Season with a gripping musical radio drama that will transport you back to a pre-war era of disappearing freedoms-and tell the story of the artists who pushed back. Gathering clouds of war in Europe loomed large over the events of 1938, fueling the songwriters of the era to create works stunning in their candor, humor and commentary about the rapid changes in society and growing threats to Jewish life. In this innovative multimedia production, Music Director Daniel Hope and New Century will take you through works by Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, Hanns Eisler, and more, while vocalists Thomas Hampson and Horst Maria Merz narrate the action in the bilingual roles of radio broadcasters and singers. You won't want to touch that dial!
All ticket holders to the opening night performance on Friday, September 16 will receive access to a special after-party in the outdoor courtyard of the Presidio Theatre. The evening will feature themed cocktails, swing dancing to the DJ/live fusion tunes of Golden Bell Music, food trucks and a celebratory toast to the 30th anniversary season.
$30 to $87.50.
Presented by New Century Chamber Orchestra.
