Cavendish luminary and basso profundo Leyland Jones, widely acclaimed for his 2021 Port Fairy Spring Music Festival Autumn Gala debut – Nina (From Argentina) – joins forcefully with Co-Artistic Director and aspiring singer-songwriter Stefan Cassomenos for a lieder-laden luncheon scaling the saucy heights and unsavoury depths of avant-garde English-language postmodern German art song.

Selections from Craigslistlieder, Gabriel Kahane’s lauded voice-and-piano settings of published listings from classified ads / community notices / onetime personals listings website Craigslist, and selections from Twitterkreis, Kahane’s also-lauded sequel featuring settings of Pulitzer Prize-winning tweets, are presented alongside a World Premiere presentation of Schubert-inspired re-imaginings of some of the most transcendentally soul-searching disco masterworks of all time.
