FREDERIC HOLLAENDER: ILLUSIONS feat. Sarah Maria Sun
We are thrilled to present the first glimpse of our new program, Out of Berlin, Over the Rainbow, featuring the extraordinary soprano Sarah Maria Sun.
This program explores the turbulent first half of the 20th century—a time of radical change in society, technology, and politics—through the voices of artists who lived and reflected on those transformative years.
Join us on a journey from shadow to light, as we highlight the stories of exiles and wanderers from Europe, Siberia, and Ukraine, who shared their rich cultural heritage while searching for belonging in a fractured world. With music by Hanns Eisler, Igor Stravinsky, Erwin Schulhoff, Aaron Copland, and Kurt Weill, and texts by Bertolt Brecht, Georg Kaiser, John Cage, and Frederick Hollaender, this program creates a vivid tapestry of sound and emotion.
Watch our performance of Hollaender’s Illusions and experience the unique fusion of saxophones and the powerful voice of Sarah Maria Sun. Stay tuned for more!
