Center for Contemporary Opera presents Accord/Discord

the cell theatre
New York, NY


Accord/Discord- An Evening of New Music-Theater
December 2,3,4 @ 8pm
the cell theatre, 338 W 23rd St. NYC

CCO steps out of its box as it presents an engaging evening of new music theater. Distinguished accordionist William Schimmel opens with an amazing version of the "Poet & Peasant"‚ Overture, a set of drinking songs and tangos from Latvia (introduced and performed by Laila Salins; some of the texts are by her father who is a leading contemporary Latvian poet); "Accord"‚ a mini-theater solo for Schimmel in which he wanders through the audience, serenading, flirting, singing, laughing, breaking down and crying; music from the Brecht "Good Person of Szechuan"‚ also organized as a mini-theater piece; and, finally, a set of those biting, hard-hitting Osvaldo Pugliese tangos, instrumental and vocal, with translations and a running commentary.
