Widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare inspired countless great musical scores through his plays and poetry. His words flow tunefully off the page and the lives of his characters are brimming with melody.
New Texas Sinfonia opens its fourth season with works that realize the drama and excitement of ‘The Immortal Bard.’ From the gripping revenge of Coriolanus in Beethoven’s overture to the jovial comedy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as brought to life by Mendelssohn, this musical journey through the human passions will doubtless have you captivated.
