MUSIC & SPOKEN WORD

Presenting INNA FALIKS on the piano and ERIC BRAEDEN reading Brecht
Selection of poetry by Louis Fantasia

Music/Words is an interdisciplinary live performance series exploring connections between poetry and music.

Arnold Schoenberg’s Opus 1 and Brahms’ Sonata # 3 op. 5 in f minor will be on the program of ECLECTIC SALON # 9.
Movements of the Sonata will be alternating with readings of Brecht’s poetry, some of which were created during his years in exile in Santa Monica.
Schoenberg and Brecht were frequent guests at Villa Aurora, as were other intellectuels and artists of the time.
