Baritone Russell Braun and pianist Serouj Kradjian perform a “dramatic recital” about the life of Hanns Eisler, who fled Nazi Germany to score films in Hollywood, winning Oscar nominations before being blacklisted and deported for his communist beliefs. Braun portrays Eisler while performing the composer’s Hollywood Songbook, which the baritone describes as “private, intimate texts” about Hollywood as experienced by someone who “never let go of his connection to Germany.” The performance repeats on Saturday.
