Harmonious Work
The Baltimore Consort (Mary Anne Ballard, Mark Cudek, Larry Lipkis, Ronn McFarlane, Mindy Rosenfeld, and Danielle Svonavec), the “rambunctious sextet” (Washington Post), known for their lively renditions of Renaissance tunes are joined by acclaimed writers Sarah Giragosian, Jill Hanifan, Jonathan Dubow, and Susan Comninos in a collaborative performance featuring original poetry inspired by music from the songs and consort music from Shakespeare’s plays.
About the Program:
In this unique collaborative presentation, the Baltimore Consort brings the sounds of Renaissance music to life, while acclaimed writers Sarah Giragosian, Jill Hanifan, Jonathan Dubow, and Susan Comninos share original poetry inspired by the melodies. As the musicians perform, the poets recite their work, weaving together music and verse in an innovative fusion of art forms. Following the performance, join the poets and musicians for a dynamic panel discussion exploring the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s works, viewed through a modern lens, and the fascinating intersection of music, poetry, and the timeless power of storytelling.
