Brecht’s touching and profound collection of playlets portrays the morally defunct and distressing realities of the Nazi regime in Germany.

It communicates, with warmth and humour, the suspicion, anxiety, betrayal and dread experienced by people as the power of Hitler grew.

Keith Tippett is widely recognised as one of the most distinctive and radical pioneers of jazz piano and composition today. From improvised solo performances through to large-scale orchestral works he has shown a discipline, dedication and creative energy unparalleled in contemporary music in Britain. He has written for and performed with various classical ensembles, including the Kreutzer and Balanescu String Quartets, Ensemble Bash and the BBC Singers. In solo performance Keith Tippett’s hallmark is a unique, mesmerising style coupled with a melodic, spiritual power, which transforms the piano into an orchestra of his imagination. As an improviser he bears out the revelation, shared only by a handful of other musicians, that spontaneous composition, with its fine balance of structure and inspiration, is once again a vital force in contemporary music.

‘Pianist, composer, bandleader, innovator, catalyst – the internationally acclaimed Keith Tippett is all these things and more’
