Shakespeare in Music

May 2, 3 & 4, 2026

Step into the world of Shakespeare’s dramatic, enduring tales. Tchaikovsky’s passionate Romeo and Juliet is a timeless and familiar classic, while Coleridge-Taylor’s evocative Othello offers a compelling counterpoint for interpreting Shakespeare in music. Plus, pianist Claire Huangci makes her Weill Hall debut with Mozart’s expressive Piano Concerto No. 20.
