Shakespeare in Love
The Festival Concert Week comes to a glorious conclusion with the return of Boreas Quartett Bremen alongside guest artist and BEMF Orchestra member Kathryn Montoya. Performing on their 14-part Renaissance consort, these exceptional artists have created a beautiful program exploring the many stages of love in William Shakespeare’s works. They will present vivid masterpieces by Dowland, Tye, Palestrina, Byrd, and many others, interspersed with readings of Shakespeare’s timeless sonnets and soliloquies by actor Caleb Mayo.
“The quartet plays full of spirit, with the highest virtuosity and varied tempi, savouring the boundless possibilities of the polyphony.”
