Woven into an intimate program, these pieces tell a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and result in a meditation on confronting our past while moving toward the future.

Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim has helped to create some of Broadway’s greatest stage shows. But he says the world of classical music is behind some of his deepest influences, including such composers as Sergei Rachmaninoff and Joseph-Maurice Ravel.

“It is aesthetically fulfilling to hear composers take my music seriously,” said Sondheim, who was interviewed briefly on stage this weekend during a concert of 17 compositions inspired by songs from his musicals “Sweeney Todd,” “Company,...

Broadway's brightest stars, composers, and musicians are teaming up to create Over The Moon The Broadway Lullaby Project. A 2-cd set of original lullabies plus 48-page children's book and ebook illustrated by America's best-loved artists. The project, executive produced by Kate Dawson and Jodi Glucksman, benefits breast cancer research, support and education.BroadwayWorld is bringing you exclusive videos of some of your favorite Broadway stars inside the recording studio, contributing their talents to the album. In this episode, we bring you Tony Award-winning actress amp singer Nikki M. James Book of Mormon recording All New Music by Marisa Michelson, Lyrics by Joshua H. Cohen. This original lullaby features Fred Hersch on piano and Dave Eggar on cello, produced by Matt Pierson. These are original scenes from the upcoming documentary and web series by Out of The Blue Films, Inc. www.outofthebluefilms.com.

Fred Hersch had arguably become the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so. That changed, abruptly, when Hersch developed AIDS-related dementia in 2008, then fell into a coma for two months, before recovering—but only after losing all of his motor functions. After intensive therapy, he retrained himself to play. And his new, comeback album, “Whirl” (Palmetto)—which Vf.Com streams here exclusively, in its entirety, for one week only—is a testament to Hersch’s deep reserves of talent and resolve. While he has traded some of his fearlessness and sheer surprise for a more temperate fluidity, the CD maintains his unconventional rhythms, his disdain for cliché, and his ear for fashioning heaven-sent melody: two tracks, “Snow Is Falling” and the Latin habanera “Madevilla,” both highlights of his recent appearance at New York's Village Vanguard, come from the same sublime place as his earlier works...

This month New York City has two photo exhibitions devoted to flamenco dance (at the Aperture Gallery and at Amster Yard’s Instituto Cervantes), one about jazz (at Lincoln Center’s Library for the Performing Arts) and several that focus on fashion. Pianist Fred Hersch recently told the Times that he has completed “a song cycle about art and photographic images.” And literary scholar Peggy Samuels has just published Deep Skin (Cornell University Press), a probing examination of the way painters such as Klee and Calder helped shaped the form and substance of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry.
