George Maurer was a student at Saint John's in German 311 when he became acquainted with the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. With that experience, George began a life-long love affair with one of Europe's greatest poets. In September 2012 George and The George Maurer Theater Ensemble performed
Autumn Song which captured the emotions and accolades of the crowds. The show featured twelve of Rilke's best loved poems as well as four poems from Tennessee Williams. Maurer's show at the festival depicted poets Rilke and Williams in sung dialog with each other about life, poetry and love. Williams discovered Rilke when he was a student at Washington University.
