Ute Lemper and Jasper String Quartet: Music of Kurt Weill

While his songs from TheThreepenny Opera are justly famous, versatile composer Kurt Weill also composed brilliant but little-known instrumental works—hear them interspersed with an array of cabaret and art songs in a program featuring famed Weill interpreter Ute Lemper (“mesmerizing,” New York Times). The Jasper Quartet (“powerful,” New York Times) joins her for new arrangements of Weill’s songs and also takes on Weill’s pungent yet lyrical String Quartet, op. 8.
