April 10, 2025
  • Saturday, May 17, 2025
  • 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
  • Bohemian National Hall 321 East 73rd St, New York, NY 10021 USA

Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs, internationally acclaimed soprano, and Michael Recchiuti, award winning conductor and pianist will explore the art and context of the Late Romantic 20th century German Lied.

Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Victor Ullmann, both born in the Czech portion of the Austrian Empire before its ultimate collapse after the First World War, and both Jewish, lived, studied and worked in Vienna, cultural capital of the empire.

Time, politics and war would destroy their world and lead each to a dramatically different destiny.
