Programmes
Mary’s Serious Cabaret programmes investigate serious and not-so-serious composers’ flirtations with cabaret and jazz. With the classic hits of Gershwin, Weill, Coward and Bernstein, cabaret and art songs by the likes of Schoenberg, Barber and Poulenc, the contemporary outlook of Adès, Bolcolm and Muldowney counterpointed by songs from the Berlin cabarets of the 1920s.
Example programmes:
