Shakespearean Dreams

FEBRUARY 11, 2012 at 8:00 P.M.

Commedia for (Almost) 18th-Century Orchestra, William Bolcom Let Us Garlands Bring, Gerald Finzi

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Overture & Incidental Music, Felix Mendelssohn

Poets have come and gone for centuries. But only one is known as "The Bard." Finzi's music and Timothy Jones' powerful voice will bring some of Shakespeare's most emotionally stirring verses to life. Pit & Balcony Theatre will perform a semi-staged version of one of the world's greatest comedies, while the SBSO and the Saginaw Choral Society will perform the music that comedy inspired in Mendelssohn. 

Pulitzer Prize winner William Bolcom, a long time U of M faculty member, pulls the commedia dell'arte of Shakespeare's era into today's world.
