Don't Be Angry!
A recital featuring Justin Austin
World-renowned baritone Justin Austin will reprise a program he debuted at Carnegie Hall in March 2024. He curated this arrangement of songs in response to the often-heard phrase “Don’t Be Angry!,” highlighting irony, dissidence and rage. It includes music by Kurt Weill (Three Penny Opera), Olaf Bienert, Ricky Ian Gordon, and Robert Owens, set to poems by Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Tucholsky, Walt Whitman, and Langston Hughes among others. Austin will be joined in conversation with Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director & Chief Curator, to discuss this captivating program and accompanying exhibition.
