Bader Ginsburg (RBG). This cycle is a collection of narratives, advice, and

anecdotes revolving around the “demure and unassuming” figure of RBG.

This recital will begin with a brief overview of the musical motives

incorporated into the song cycle, which help paint this "portrait" of the

Notorious RBG.
