This unique project is pairing the work of two iconic composers from the middle of the 20th Century. Highway 1, U.S.A. by African American composer William Grant Still, based upon a libretto by his wife Verna Arvey, a daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants. The second one act opera is Down in the Valley by German immigrant Kurt Weill, based upon a libretto by first generation playwright Arnold Sundgaard. Still’s Highway 1, U.S.A. was last performed in NYC in 1977, Down in the Valley will be heard in Weill’s original chamber orchestration.
