CONCORA is thrilled to announce Summer Festival 2016, “Shakespeare’s Legacy,” and to welcome Artistic Director Chris Shepard to his first Summer Festival.
The Summer Festival concert is on Saturday, July 30 at 4:00 PM at Bethany Covenant Church in Berlin, Connecticut.
“April 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, so it seems fitting to honor his singular contribution to the vocal repertoire by featuring some settings of his most famous lines in CONCORA Summer Festival 2016.”
– Chris Shepard
The Summer Festival 2016 concert will include two major works by Ralph Vaughan Williams; choral settings of Shakespeare’s songs by John Rutter, Emma Lou Diemer and Erik Neilsen; and a jazz setting of “Songs and Sonnets” by pianist George Shearing.
