A special program highlighting music
from Elizabethan England.
The music of Shakespeare's plays within the setting
of the royal court, featuring Clown Songs, Court Songs, Drinking Songs, Masked Balls,
and other frivolity, and it all took place under the watchful eyes of two estranged queens,
Elizabeth and Mary. The Mistress of Ceremonies is none other than Jane the Fool, Elizabeth’s only female jester.
Performers included the acclaimed early
music group Courtly Noyse and Vox Nobili. Cast members include: Linda
Libby, Tara Pool,
Susan Abernethy, Jack Winans, Ed Hollingsworth, Morgan
Hollingsworth, Bill Nolan, Julie Clemmons, Steve
Jensen, Anthony Hamm, Daniel and Rebecca Myers, Vanessa Dinning and numerous local
children from San Diego County.
 THE
NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE IS PROUD TO HOST THIS PERFORMANCE AS PART OF
PERFORMING ARTS AT THE NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE, A SERIES OF CULTURAL
EVENTS PRESENTED AS A COMMUNITY SERVICE TO SUPPORT THE ARTS IN SAN DIEGO AND
TO UNDERSCORE THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARTS AND THE BRAIN.
From Pat
Launer:
… The “Musical
Shakespeare Evening,” hosted by the San Diego Shakespeare Society,
featuring a stellar cast of characters that spanned artforms (music,
theater, dance) was, by all reports, a huge success. "
From Others:
"We both
tremendously enjoyed the evening. The blend of modern with
classical, serious with comedic, was a joy. We were impressed and I
know that everyone else thoroughly enjoyed the evening as well."
"Congrats for a
well-done program at Neurosciences Monday night. And a
special "attagal" to Vanessa Dinning for her work pulling so many varied
and interesting acts together. "
