Sounds of Shakespeare
Live from Stratford-upon-Avon as part of Radio 3's Shakespeare celebrations, pianist Richard Sisson and friends attempt to perform music from every single Shakespeare play.
As part of Radio 3's celebration Sounds of Shakespeare live from Stratford-upon-Avon, Richard Sisson attempts to perform music from every single Shakespeare play, with pianist Ashley Wass, mezzo soprano Kitty Whately, baritone Mark Stone and the 大象传媒 Singers, proving that brevity is indeed the soul of wit.
大象传媒 Radio 3 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare with a season celebrating the four centuries of music and performance that his plays and sonnets have inspired. Over the anniversary weekend, from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th April, Radio 3 will broadcast live from a pop-up studio at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Other Place Theatre and other historic venues across Stratford-upon-Avon.
