NOTES from the balcony

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has inspired some of the most beautiful and powerful music ever written. In this unique performance, Boston Brass and Turtle Island String Quartet, two power-houses in the chamber music world, along with piano, and percussion, offer new arrangements that depict a journey of intense passion and tell Shakespeare’s tragic love story. The program includes Kabalevsky’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo and Juliet Suite’, a selection of ‘Juliet Letters’ by Elvis Costello and Bernstein’s thrilling ‘West Side Story Suite”.
