Merchant of Venice

Sun, 04/21/2013 - 2:00pm - 5:30pm

In this comedy, Shakespeare weaves together two ancient folk myths, one involving a vengeful, greedy Jewish creditor trying to exact a pound of flesh from a Christian over an unpaid debt, the other involving a marriage suitor’s choice among three chests to win the hand of his beloved. How does one harmonize the Elizabethan anti-Semitic portrayal of Shylock with the fairy-tale romance of Portia and Bassanio? And then make this experience relevant and comedic to a contemporary audience? Join us as we celebrate the final production in our exploration of politically-themed work.

Brentano String Quartet

Sun, 04/14/2013 - 3:00pm

Since its inception in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. While they have performed in the world’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, they have served as the first Resident Quartet at Princeton University since 1999. During its first European tour, the Quartet was honored with the Royal Philharmonic Award for Most Outstanding Debut.  The quartet’s playing is “passionate, uninhibited, and spellbinding,” raves a critic for The Independent of London. A Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer praises the ensemble’s “seemingly infallible instincts for finding the center of gravity in every phrase and musical gesture.”
