Symphony Concert: In-Between Worlds

The “Symphony Concert: In-Between Worlds” brings the Braunschweig State Orchestra, led by conductor Friedrich Praetorius, and cello virtuoso Bryan Cheng together for a night of transcontinental musical exploration. The program follows the journeys of three master composers whose lives and works traversed continents and realities. Dive into Kurt Weill’s bold reinvention of musical theatre with his 1941 masterpiece **“Lady in the Dark.”** His “Symphonic Nocturne,” reimagined for orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, captures the unique sound that reshaped Broadway. Next, experience Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s **Cello Concerto in C, Op. 37**—a lush, expressive work born from the film *Deception* and a testament to his rich harmonies and virtuoso vocal line, a melodic bridge between Austria and America after the fall of the Third Reich. Finally, feel the electric drama of Igor Stravinsky’s **“Petrushka,”** a burlesque in four scenes that waltzes between appearance and reality, man and marionette, breaking new sonic ground. Feel the pulse of music in worlds both familiar and newly invented. Check the external links for details & tickets.
