Program Notes:

At Shakespeare’s Tomb is a brand new work that was co-commissioned by Stratus Chamber Orchestra and the Westmont College Orchestra. It is composed around a libretto that mixes a variety of excerpts from Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets and an original narrative written by Stratus conductor, David Rutherford. The libretto explores Shakespeare’s deep understanding of the human condition and encouragements to his audiences to truly experience the richness of life. Musically, the work seeks to highlight the profound depth and breadth of experience to which Shakespeare calls us throughout his body of works.
