Shakespeare’s tragedy and Tchaikovsky’s tortured personal life collided to produce the first true expression of Tchaikovsky's genius as a composer. Styled as an Overture-Fantasy, this masterpiece boils Shakespeare’s narrative down to 20 minutes of music that is thunderingly dramatic and achingly beautiful.
The program will also include Rachmaninov's Vocalise featuring UL Voice Professor Dr. Kelly Bixby. UL student competition winner Yaxuan Li will perform the Schumann Piano Concerto in A Minor.
Please join us for this special performance on April 5, 7pm, Angelle Hall Auditorium. Free admission and open to the public.
