Performance - Shakespeare on Love

Continuing our journey of music which connects our common humanity to the world around us, we now turn to our relationships with one another.  We celebrate love and personal communion in all its forms with the immortal words of Shakespeare.

Michel Gill and Jayne Atkinson, husband and wife and acclaimed stars of stage and TV including House of Cards, will be our co-hosts for this event!  They will guide us through music that reflects how we engage with each other and how complicated human relations can be — with music that ultimately reveals the redemptive power of love.

Shakespeare’s love stories have inspired many composers. We bring you stunning music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Romeo and Juliet by multiple composers including Felix Mendelssohn, Hector Berlioz and Tchaikovsky.

You will be moved and embraced, as these stories are deepened and enriched by the interplay of words and music.
