 On March 15th Dr. William Schimmel premiered his new score 'I was Drunk that Day, at the Cell Theatre in Manhattan' (New York) for the play of the same name based on short stories by Chekhov compiled, adapted and directed by Darrel Larson. On March 26th he performed in Anthony Cornicello’s ‘Spiral Jetty for Accordion, Violin, Cello and Electronics’ at the Electro-Acoustical Music festival at the Graduate Center CUNY. Last weekend, William Schimmel was the featured accordionist in the limited run Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s 'Anyone can Whistle.' Part of the Encore series at New York’s City Center, the series was designed to give Broadway shows a second hearing after an initial run. Originally on Broadway in 1964, the performances are also in honor of Sondheim’s 80th birthday. On April 22nd he will join New York City Opera star Lauren Flannigan in an evening of music devoted to the Weimar Republic. The performance will be at Café Sabarsky, which is part of the Neue Gallery, an art gallery devoted to Weimar related topics. They will perform works by Kurt Weill, Mischa Spoilansky and others, and on May 27th, he will perform Eric Salzman’s 'Opium Song' at Galapagos in the Dumbo section of New York City.
