Timothy Jones, Bass-Baritone
Pit & Balcony Theatre
Saginaw Choral Society

Commedia for (Almost) 18th-Century Orgchestra
Let Us Garland Bring, Gerald Finzi
A Midsummer Night's Dream: Overture & Incedental Music, Felix Mendelssohn

Poets have come and gone for centuries. But only one is known as "the Bard." Finzi's music and Timothy Jones' powerful voice will bring some of Shakespeare's most emotionally stirring verses to life. Pit & Balcony Theatre will perform a semi-staged version of one of the world's greatest comedies, while the SBSO and the Saginaw Choral Society will perform the music that comedy inspired in Mendelssohn. Pulitzer Prize winner William Bolcom, a long-time U of M faculty member, pulls the commedia dell'art of Shakespeare's era into today's world.
