Bach and Shakespeare

Sunday, July 21, 4:00 PM

Orchestra, Chorale, Chorus and Soloists conducted by Paul Goodwin

Two titans of Western culture—J.S. Bach and William Shakespeare—are paired in this program. The first two cantatas of J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio open the relaxing and pastoral afternoon. The second half of the program is Mendelssohn’s Incidental Music to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with actress Francesca Faridany providing Shakespeare’s narration.

Psycho!

Monday, July 22, 7:30 PM

Featuring Concertmaster Peter Hanson with members of the Festival Orchestra

Monday’s program stretches the imagination. The concert presents the neo-Baroque classic Holberg Suite by Grieg, and Shaker Loops by John Adams. The suite from Psycho, composed by Bernard Herrmann begins a second half dedicated to great film music. Other movie classics include  John Williams’s haunting violin solo from Schindler’s List and Elgar’s “Nimrod,” which was used in the movie “Dunkirk,” as well as music from “Concerning Hobbits.”

Saints and Sinners

Tuesday, July 23, 7:30 PM

Orchestra, Chorale, Chorus, Soloists conducted by Paul Goodwin
Mhairi Lawson, soprano; Meg Bragle, mezzo-soprano; Thomas Cooley, tenor; Dashon Burton, bass-baritone

“All opera is about saints, sinners, seducers, victims and death! In this evening of drama and excitement we present four contrasting operas that show elements of all these traits that make opera so compelling,” – Paul Goodwin
