The season is comprised of two, 30-minute concerts. First, on March 17, will be “Episode 9: Shakespeare Re-Shaped.” Soprano Claire Wild, tenor Joseph Doody, baritone Rodney Clarke, and pianist Kelvin Lim, will perform selections from operas such as “Falstaff” and “Romeo et Juliette.

The performance will also include deaf actor Lara Steward delivering Juliet’s “Gallop apace” monologue in British Sign Language, as well as Kat Rose-Martin doing Isabella’s “Could great men thunder” monologue from “Measure for Measure.”

March 31 will feature the debut of “Episode 10: Calming the Tempest.” Joseph Doody will perform Guy Woolfenden’s “Songs of Ariel,” written for Ian Charlesson for the renowned 1978 Royal Shakespeare Company production of “The Tempest.”

Poet Jade Anouka will also premiere her new work “This Brave Vessel,” actor Athena Stevens will recite from Sylvia Plath, and actor Fiona Shaw will introduce three poems by Emily Dickinson, leading up to the world premiere of Nicholas O’Neill’s song cycle which adapts the aforementioned Dickinson poems. This finale will be performed by mezzo Flora McIntosh, who will be accompanied by O’Neill on the piano.
