The Wonder of Will: Early and New Music Celebrating Shakespeare

 To commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the three groups join to perform songs and dances from his plays, and music by his contemporaries William Byrd and John Dowland—including the Lachrimae for viols. Voices and viols unite in period anthems, and Stile Antico sings texts from Henry IV set by the famous young American composer, Nico Muhly.
