Puzzled me too, but I know very little about Weill. The program for the
N.Y. Phil's concert on 8th March 2000 is listed as follows:
Bernstein: Suite from "A Quiet Place"
Pugh: Trombone Concerto (N.Y. Premiere)
Weill: Street Scenes (World Premiere)
Performers are:
Leonard Slatkin (conductor)
Joseph Alessi (trombone)
Christine Goerke (Anna)
Yvonne Gonzales (Rose)
Charles Castronova (Sam)
Dean Ely (Frank)
For the terminally curious, the New York Phil. has a web site:
