Songs of Shakespeare

Actors Robin Goodrin-Nordli, Jim Finnegan, and Michael Elich join flutist Sherril Wood as the Repertory Singers present their fifth annual concert of readings and songs of Shakespeare at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Elizabethan Stage.

Exciting new compositions by Martha Sullivan and Craig Kingsbury harmonize with audience favorite, "Serenade to Music," of Ralph Vaughn Williams and with unusual bossa nova and blues settings from the Sonnets and Macbeth.

Hear for yourself why Richard Moeschl described "Songs of Shakespeare" as "ethereal vocalizing" and "a feasts for the soul."

Get your tickets early! And please note the new time for concert and lecture. Watch our street banner on East Main that announces this very special concert.
