Best of WNYC Music: Weimar Kabarett; Brandenburg Project

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

Guest DJ Ute Lemper examines the era that defines Berlin Cabaret: a brilliant flash of artistic adventurousness before the oppression of the Nazi regime. We hear original stars of that era and recordings from leading modern interpreters of the repertoire.

In the 8PM hour, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra premieres a work from its ongoing Brandenburg Project: Christopher Theofanidis' "Muse," paired with its inspiration, Bach's "Brandenburg" Concerto No. 3.
