The Immortal Shakespeare

Event closed

The plays and poetry of William Shakespeare have been a source of inspiration for composers throughout the centuries. In this concert, Echoing Air will explore the enduring nature of Shakespeare’s genius in word and song from the Elizabethan Age to the present. Featured selections include songs from the plays themselves, as well as popular music of Shakespeare's time referenced in his plays.


The program includes lute songs by Thomas Morley and Robert Johnson, Baroque settings by Henry Purcell and Pelham Humfrey, Classical songs by Thomas Arne, and modern settings of Shakespearean texts by Michael Tippett and John Gardner. 


Additionally, there will be a premiere of new pieces for Echoing Air by University of Indianapolis faculty composer Dr. John Berners. Echoing Air is thrilled to be joined by flutist Tamara Thweatt and lutenist Cameron Welke.
