The Rest is Noise. With Louise Fryer. The 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra: Kurt Weill on Broadway - a concert sequence devised by Kim Kowalke & Keith Lockhart, from the year-long festival on London's South Bank.

Kurt Weill escaped from Berlin and the Nazis in 1933 and the only music he took with him was a draft of his 2nd Symphony. Like so many musicians and composers out of favour with the new regime in Germany, Weill headed west and made his way to New York and Broadway in particular.

In the second half of the concert we celebrate Kurt Weill's enduring legacy to music theatre in New York with songs from many of his Broadway successes.

Plus another Exile in New York. Bartok's 3rd Piano Concerto - harking back to a prewar Europe.
