BETWEEN SKY AND ASPHALT

The phenomenal soprano Julia Dawson and the multifaceted pianist SooJin Anjou have put together a programme that combines the sublime with the everyday.


From Richard Strauss's luminous late Romanticism to Arnold Schoenberg's charmingly ironic Brettl songs, written for the Berliner Kabarett Überbrettl on Alexanderplatz, to French miniatures full of dance rhythms and joie de vivre; an evening about love, loss and the delicious absurdity of being human.
