Musical journey from Berlin to Broadway, from classical to jazz

This surprising concert transports the listener to the music of Kurt Weill and his contemporaries, blending classical music, jazz, and cabaret, from Berlin to Hollywood and Broadway, featuring lyricists like Bertold Brecht, Ogden Nash, and Maxwell Anderson. Featuring beloved classics like "Alabama Song," "September Song," "Lost in the Stars," and Charlie Chaplin's nostalgic "Smile. The composers of these songs came from turbulent times, when some were forced to flee persecution and emigrate in search of a better life.

The Hague String Trio (Justyna Briefjes, Julia Dinerstein, and Miriam Kirby) will perform, featuring singer Lucy Woodward, double bassist and arranger Marijn van Prooijen, and drummer Vinsent Planjer. Annechien Koerselman will stage the concert, and Nina Kraszewska will be in charge as soundengineer. Lucy Woodward has previously worked with Rod Stewart and Snarky Puppy, among others, and performed with numerous international jazz ensembles. The Hague String Trio recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and is known for its multi-layered interplay and acclaimed CDs. Marijn van Prooijen and Vinsent Planjer bring their rich backgrounds in classical, world music, and jazz to the mix, creating a moving and virtuoso ensemble.
