Focus Residency I: Shakespeare and Goethe

Concert Program

As the culmination of the Shakespeare and Goethe residency, an all-star cast of five artists will join forces on November 9 in St. Bede’s Church to bring to life timeless literature-inspired masterpieces by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Brahms. This must-see performance and its Thursday, November 8 introductory discussion event, will shine new light on the dramatic impact that Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Faust, and Werther had on the inventiveness and imagination of some of the greatest chamber music authors of all time.
