"Liebeslieder" with The Polyphonists (Private Event)

  • Cosmos Club 2121 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20008 United States (map)

This event is private.

This performance features the Polyphonists along with pianists Edward Rothmel and Jonathan King in a performance of Brahms’ complete Liebeslieder-Walzer (Op. 52) and Neue Liebeslieder (Op. 65). The Brahms will be paired with contemporary composer John Greer’s Liebesleid-Lieder (“Love-Sorrow Songs”), a complementary song cycle for quartet, brilliantly setting Dorothy Parker’s charming, irreverant, and hilarious English-language poetry.
