Subject: Two Concerts One Week Away! Summer’s Distallation
Lots of exciting things have been happening for the Shakespeare Concerts this month, and hopefully I’ll be able to share more details with you soon. But the most exciting thing right now are our two concerts coming up next weekend!
Our concert, Summer’s Distillation (previously Music for Harp, Horns, and Voice), is now one week away! Join us on Saturday, April 8th, 7:30pm at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, and hear all of our fantastic artists in vocal music for voice, harp, and horns.
If you’re not able to come to the concert on Saturday in Boston, then maybe you can catch our second iteration on Sunday in Amherst instead! UMass Amherst is holding a full-day event, ‘Interpreting Shakespeare’, with the Shakespeare Concerts as the final event of the day at 7:30pm in the Old Chapel.
