Unknown: Good evening everyone. It's my great pleasure to welcome you here tonight. We didn't want to let the 100th anniversary of Kurt viols birth go unmarked. He made such an amazing contribution to American music and particularly American

00:00:28.320 - 00:00:39.810

musical theater. And fortunately for us tonight we have with us one of the leading interpreters of Kurt viles music Angelina ratio. And I've asked her to say a couple of words about each of the selections we're going to do tonight.

00:00:40.530 - 00:00:53.610

Hello. Thank you. This concert very special special to me not only because we're celebrating the 100th birthday of Kurt vile, but

00:00:53.610 - 00:01:12.720

because this is my first concert in my new home state, California. The first piece that we'd like to do are selections from his musical last in the stars, which unfortunately was written two years I think before his death in 1950. At only 50

00:01:12.720 - 00:01:26.850

years of age, he collaborated once again with his neighbor from New City, New York Maxwell Anderson, who he had collaborated previously with on the musical Knickerbocker holiday. The famous song you might remember September song

00:01:26.850 - 00:01:41.040

that Walter Houston made famous and this saw this show last in the stars was taken from Allen patents novel cry the beloved country. So we'd like to begin this evening with one of the last things that he wrote last in the stars.
