SummerScape and the Bard Music Festival annually explore a composer and the culture in which they lived, using numerous artistic disciplines as well as a look at the composer's contemporaries.
SummerScape will once again utilize the majestic Frank Gehry-designed Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, on the Bard campus. Performances, including Waters and Bernhard, will also be held in the Spiegeltent, a venue for cabaret entertainment that evokes old world Europe and a seaside boardwalk. The Spiegeltent will also host the Catskill Jazz Factory.
Waters, known for numerous films, including "Hairspray," will perform his one-man show, "This Filthy World." Bard describes the show as "part confession, part vaudeville." Bernhard will perform her show, "Sandra Monica Blvd: Coast to Coast."
