SESSION 3 SHAKESPEARE TODAY: WILLIAM’S PASSION The Bard’s sonnets with music by Rob Dickinson.

The poetry of William Shakespeare takes on a unique dimension when interpreted as lyrics of musical compositions, in this case, with music that seems to us both familiar and ineffable. Rob Dickinson presents “Shakespeare Today” and offers us to rediscover what we already know, delighting us with something we have always imagined.

8:20 - 8:45
