The Bard in Spring

May 1, 2016 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

$18

This choral concert, commemorating the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, will feature musical settings of texts by Shakespeare and several other well-known English poets.

Texts will include excerpts from “Much Ado about Nothing,” “Measure for Measure,” “As You Like It,” “Hamlet,” “Othello,” Twelfth Night,” “The Winter’s Tale,” and “Two Gentlemen of Verona.”

The music will be as varied as Shakespeare’s works, ranging from lush, haunting settings by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Orlando Gibbons and John Rutter to lilting, joyful and even boisterous settings by Thomas Morley, Franz Schubert, Emma Lou Diemer, Brian McLinden and others.
