Event Description
Morning Musicale - The Bergmann Piano Duo and Onalea Gilbertson performing From Berlin to Hollywood
Vocalist, actress and writer, Onalea Gilbertson will join the Bergmanns to present a cross section of repertoire that emerged from the collaboration between the daring revolutionary German playwright and poet, Bertold Brecht and composers Kurt Weill, Hanns Eisler and Paul Dessau. Selections from the Three Penny Opera and other hits will be performed in this entertaining cabaret-style performance.
