Travel to Vienna with the music of Fin-de-Siècle Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky, who was born in Vienna in 1871 and died in Larchmont, NY in 1942. He was widely celebrated in Europe as a conductor, composer and teacher, but his life was changed by the Second World War. The performance interweaves vocal and chamber music as a prelude to scenes from his opera Eine Florentinische Tragödie (A Florentine Tragedy), which was based upon a play by Oscar Wilde.

The performance was approximately 50 minutes long and sung in German with simultaneous English translation.
