In honor of National Poetry Month, violist Shane Barker has fashioned a program that pairs two art forms: Poetry and Music. Audiences will hear spoken aloud the words of Emily Dickinson, Alfred de Musset, and William Shakespeare, and in the intimate listening space that is The Granite, hear the musical companion to each literary work: music of Töru Takemitsu, Rebecca Clarke, and Sergei Prokofiev.

A concert of music for pairs of performers, vocal and instrumental. Soloists include Henry Church, guitar, Larissa Davidowitz, soprano, Robert Havery, piano, Vanessa Holroyd, flute, Ariana Keeler, sopranos and Liam Keller, tenor, Steve Minkler, piano.

"Iolanthe" is a comic opera by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, first performed in 1886. Like many Gilbert and Sullivan operas, it satirizes various aspects of Victorian Britain, including its political and legal system, and also the institution of marriage. Arthur Sullivan's musical score is a beautiful combination of the classical and the romantic, as he borrows liberally from Continental composers.
