Seattle Symphony: [untitled] 3

Reinbert de Leeuw – Im wunderschönen Monat Mai

Dutch composer Reinbert de Leeuw reimagines the songs of Schubert and Schumann, infusing them with rawness and danger. Written in the style of 1920s German cabaret, de Leeuw creates a vulnerable, idiosyncratic, and ultimately beautiful cycle, a journey through life and tragic love, with all the emotions that accompany it.

Running time: 1 hour, 5 minutes
Doors open 1 hour, 30 minutes prior to performance
