Marc Blitzstein
Marc Blitzstein was an American composer and lyricist known for his politically charged and socially conscious works in the 20th century. Born in 1905, he was a champion of using music as a tool for activism, blending classical, opera, and musical theater influences. His most famous work, *The Cradle Will Rock* (1937), was a groundbreaking pro-union musical that was controversially shut down by the government before its premiere. Blitzstein was also known for *The Airborne Symphony* and his English adaptation of *The Threepenny Opera*, which played a crucial role in popularizing Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s work in the United States. His legacy as a bold and innovative composer continues to inspire socially conscious musicians today.
