92Y’s Tisch Center for the Arts is proud to launch its 2018-19 concert season with “East West Street.”

The Oct. 14 performance will bring the North American premiere of “East West Street: A Song of Good and Evil,” the first event in 92Y’s new interdisciplinary Inflection series.

Created by award-winning author/human-rights lawyer Philippe Sands, who also narrates, the multimedia work features pianists Emanuel Ax and Guillaume de Chassy and narrator Katja Riemann. Metropolitan Opera bass-baritone Laurent Naouri chose the musical selections, while Nina Brazier is the stage director.

East West Street is by turns a reading, a drama and a semi-staged concert and draws on words from Sands’ book exploring the connections between three men whose lives became intertwined during the Nuremberg trials: Hersch Lauterpacht, who introduced the concepts of crimes against humanity and war crimes into international law; Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term “genocide”; and Hans Frank, Hitler’s personal lawyer and a leading architect of the Final Solution.

The work will include musical selections by Bach, Beethoven, Busoni, Fréderic Chaslin, Leonard Cohen, Paul Misraki, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, and Ravel.

Sands said in a press release, “Laurent Naouri’s beautiful, eclectic selection of music drawn from the lives of the three men is an integral part of the performance. It draws us right into the heart of the stories while allowing us our own moments of solace.”
