The great teacher and healer in literature, William Shakespeare is this

human spirit. George Benjamin's powerhouse choral work Sometimes Voices
is based on The Tempest and Henze's Symphony No. 8 is inspired by A
Midsummer Night's Dream.

Mirageas for a pre-concert talk at the Brooklyn Music School (126 St.
Felix Street - just around the corner from BAM). Learn more about the
music, the composers, and the thinking that developed these unique,
fascinating works.
