Stew

Performance Artist, Creator of "Passing Strange"
The "mesmerizing stage presence of [this] chubby, bald, moon-faced, middle-aged performer named Stew" — as described by the New York Times — will soon be on display on Broadway when his autobiographical musical, "Passing Strange," opens at the Belasco Theater on February 28th. Also known as an underground "Afro-baroque" musician, his 2000 release "Guest Host" was named Album of the Year by Entertainment Weekly.

This year's annual Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center is rife with sounds stretching the spectrum of Requiems, Metamorphoses, and Passions — including the American premiere of composer-in-residence Kaija Saariaho's tale of the sufferings of French mystic Simone Weil, who died of starvation in protest to the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1943.
