In an unconventional and entertaining recital, Susan Zarrabi and Gerold Huber follow the traces of crime in song—with expert support from actress Ulrike Folkerts, best known as the longest-serving detective on German TV’s Tatort (“Crime Scene”). Performing classic works from Mozart to Brahms as well as cabaret songs by Friedrich Hollaender and Georg Kreisler, which will be interspersed with readings, the three artists pursue thieves, blackmarket dealers, poisoners, and other shady characters.
