The Sounds of Shakespeare

BSA Members have been offered a discount on tickets for Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra’s amazing concert on 20th May, featuring musical interpretations of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet by Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Bernstein, and a special musical showcase by pupils from local schools.

Cambridge Philharmonic’s next concert ‘The Sounds of Shakespeare’ is part of a new education project to spark student-led creativity in response to Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Cross-curriculum workshops with the performing arts collective ‘Three Inch Fools’ will culminate in a showcase featuring young people from local schools to be presented at the start of the concert.

Principal Guest Conductor, Lucy Hollins, will then lead the orchestra through a programme of Shakespearean adaptations:

  • Tchaikovsky’s ‘Hamlet’ Overture
  • Shostakovich’s ‘Hamlet’ Suite13-movement op. 32 (the incidental music to the play)   

Followed by:

  • Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy Overture toRomeo & Juliet’
  • Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from ‘West Side Story’

The programme will be accompanied by excerpts from some of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays, performed by actors Anna Tolputt and Matt Pinches.
