SCHOENBERG AT THE CABARET
AN ICON OF MODERNISM CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY

So, for the composer’s 150th birthday, UNLTD, with the help of the Verbier Festival Academy’s talented soloists and singers, offers a glimpse of the lighter, humorous side of Schoenberg's character through his Brettl-Lieder, the beginnings of the Weimar cabaret tradition.
