Three Lost Chords, is adapted from three short stories (Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart, Kafka's A Hunger Artist and Dame Muriel Spark's The Girl I Left Behind Me) this triptych of musical ghost stories once again features the composer on the piano with three young stars from the  worlds of both modern and classical opera and musical theater: Nathan Lee Graham (Songs of Innocence and Experience, The Wild Party, Zoolander) Michael Slattery (L'Orfeo, The Tristan Project)  Caroline Worra (Satyagraha, Mines of Sulpher)

In each musical monologue, the character must confess the strange circumstances that brought them to a place from which they cannot escape: an asylum, a panther's cage in a traveling circus, and the ominous office of a small company. By turns macabre, humorous, and oddly sensuous, Three Lost Chords propels its characters through the dark twists and turns of their surprising lives . . . and deaths.
