In Concert
Friday, March 11, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. - ciccone Theatre
Tickets: $20; $18 - students & seniors (65+); $15 - BCC

Is the Great American Songbook closed or is Susan Werner writing a new chapter? George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers epitomized the Golden Age of Popular Song. Werner’s fourth CD, I Can’t Be New, salutes this bygone era, charting new territory in style, but offering the same high quality writing that her devoted admirers and fans have come to expect. A breakthrough singer-songwriter since the mid-‘90s, Susan Werner has a reputation as one of the most compelling performers on the touring circuit. Her musical training, which includes a master’s degree in classical voice, adds depth when combined with her skills as a songwriter and lyricist.

Among the noted composers who have written expressly for Cello are Ron Carter, Mark Weber, Peter Schickele, Iranian Reza Vali, Venezuelan Paul Desanne, and French ethnomusicologist Jean Louis Florentz. NYC-based Cello has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, and Washington’s Kennedy Center. Call for a calendar of related Women’s History Month events.

In 1938 seven-year-old Eva Schlesinger is put aboard a train filled with other Jewish children and carried away from Nazi Germany in a little-known rescue operation called “Kindertransport.” More than four decades later she has become the quintessential Englishwoman who hides her origins from everyone, including her own daughter. Kindertransport tells of a miracle amid unimaginable horror. It probes the complexity of emotions in those who must lose everything they love... to live.
