Isengart is a New York-based European entertainer whose act blends songs from vintage German and French Cabaret with American pop culture.
Isengart has performed in clubs and cabarets all around New York City, notably at the legendary and now defunct Bar d'O, the original Galapagos in Williamsburg, Joe's Pub, Spiegelworld, BAM Café, and Café Sabarsky inside the Neue Galerie Museum, where he has created dozens of original solo shows since the museum's opening in 2001. Invitations to perform at other museums followed (Isengart has been featured at the Neuberger Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art, as well as SF MOMA). In October 2008, Isengart conceived and directed a highly acclaimed one-night-only cabaret variety show at MoMA.
Isengart has performed at international cabaret festivals in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and, in 2003, brought his one-man show "Liederabend" to Berlin's legendary Spiegeltent, the Bar Jeder Vernunft. A CD with a live recording of the show is available at cdbaby.com/isengart
Isengart is the Founding Director of Foreign Affairs – A Cabaret for the 21st Century.
Isengart is scheduled to do his first concert appearance in Canada in 2011, where he will be performing songs by Kurt Weill with Soprano Measha Brueggergosman, backed by the Kitchener Waterloo Symphony Orchestra.
