Gregg Kallor | Sketches from Frankenstein (World Premiere)

Unison Media and The Green-Wood Historic Fund are presenting an all-new series of classical music concerts titled The Angel’s Share, to be performed in Green-Wood’s Catacombs.

Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking novel Frankenstein was published 200 years ago. But far from the grunting Hollywood brutishness of Boris Karloff, the original told the heartbreaking story of a living, feeling creature, brought into the world only to be forsaken by his creator and left to fend for himself in a hostile world. Drawing the parallels to modern society, pianist/composer Gregg Kallor will offer the World Premiere of a new suite of operatic sketches based on the monster’s harrowing tale, in a partnership with On Site Opera. The program will also feature his other acclaimed vocal works, and the premiere of a solo piano piece in tribute to Leonard Bernstein, who is interred at Green-Wood.

The Program: Kallor: Sketches from Frankenstein (World Premiere), and other works

The Performers: Gregg Kallor, piano; Joshua Roman, cello; Jennifer Johnson Cano, mezzo soprano
