The Juliet Letters
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Originally released in 1993, the critically acclaimed album was a departure for both parties, who found their theme in the tale of a Veronese academic who penned responses to notes addressed to Shakespeare’s Juliet. The result is a 20-song musical collaboration that considers love in all its many forms and aspects through the motif of the written letter.
This genre-bending work is a unique blend of string quartet and voice that carries us on an intimate journey of hope, loss, and longing – all seen through the lens of love. The immersive experience includes a special prelude featuring guest artist mezzo-soprano Hannah Penn performing “Shakespeare Songs” by Howard Blake.
