Opening Night: Jazz by Shakespeare (donation of 10$)
Come see this exciting new theatre performance, a piece that incorporates two suites for jazz ensemble written by Duke Ellington called “Such Sweet Thunder” and “Timon of Athens.” Performers include a live jazz ensemble from Jazz at Lincoln Center, actors from the Hudson Guild Theatre Company, and dancers from the Matthew Westerby Company.
“Such Sweet Thunder” is one of the most masterful of the suites composed by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, his most frequent and significant collaborator. Commissioned in 1956 by the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, where in July of that year the Ellington Orchestra performed, “Such Sweet Thunder” is a twelve-part work which is inspired by scenes from Othello, Julius Caesar, Henry V, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. In paying tribute to Shakespeare, Ellington and Strayhorn painted a series of finely drawn portraits of some of the Bard’s most memorable tragic, comic, and heroic figures.
