The Life and Music of Kurt Weill with conductor Urs Leonhardt Steiner. In celebration of Weill’s 100th birthday, the Jewish Music Festival hosts a lecture with Urs Leonhardt Steiner.

Weill escaped to the U.S. in 1933, where he reinvented himself for the Broadway theater. His music became freer and jazzier, influenced by Cole Porter and Leonard Bernstein.
