POTSDAM -- The Crane Opera Ensemble will present "From Berlin to Potsdam: The Music of Kurt Weill," a wide-ranging cabaret evening of song, this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31.

The award-winning musical ensemble from SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music will offer two performances each evening, at 7 and 9 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday nights, in Dexter's Café in Thatcher Hall.
