'Stravinsky, Mondrian and American Song' is a romantic and nostalgic performance, in which we travel back in time with the audience with music by Igor Stravinsky, songs by George Gershwin and Cole Porter, among others, and visuals of works by Piet Mondrian combined with original footage. This highly varied program of upbeat, catchy and rhythmic music, dance and song typifies the character and atmosphere of Broadway during the 1940s.
