麻豆社 Philharmonic
Andrew Gourlay (conductor)

Five pieces by young composers, specially commissioned for the 麻豆社's Shakespeare 400 Festival feature in the first half of tonight's concert. Each takes as its inspiration one of Shakespeare's sonnets. A selection from Prokofiev's graphic and colourful ballet music for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet provides a fitting second half to the concert.
