Alma the Muse: In Recital with Erika Switzer -- Downtown Music at Grace

  • Downtown Music at Grace 33 Church Street White Plains, NY, 10601 United States (map)

Cultural icon Alma Mahler-Werfel's life intersected with some of the greatest artists of the late-19th and 20th centuries. A fascinating character, her intelligence, taste, and power (not to mention her romantic appeal) make her the subject of continuing intrigue. While her own  composition career was reportedly stifled by her first husband, Gustav, Alma was entrenched in multiple artistic communities as life took her from Vienna to New York and Los Angeles. Soprano Jardena Gertler-Jaffe and pianist Erika Switzer explore her life and impact in  this recital featuring works by Gustav Mahler, Berg, Schoenberg, Korngold, Britten, and Alma Mahler, herself.
