Sarah Rothenberg, pianist
EPIGRAPH FOR A CONDEMNED BOOK
Pianist
Sarah Rothenberg's latest original performance work. Baudelaire's masterpiece, Flowers of Evil, was banned upon publication. Chopin's daring musical
talent flourished in the poet's city of inspiration, Paris in the 1840's.
The bold modern spirit of two Romantic geniuses is revealed in this visionary
twenty-first century production. The piano recital reinvented: a unique
dialogue between poetry and music through lighting, video and live performance.
Rothenberg's original productions have been called "ingenious," (Washington
Post) "intelligent and illuminating" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) and "exceptionally thoughtful" (New York Times).

excellent pianist with an interesting mind" - The New York Times
