Shakespeare's London - the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival

The 2010 Santa Cruz Baroque Festival continues its Grand Tour of Early Music Worlds with a concert featuring renowned early music soprano Julianne Baird.

Shakespeare's London
Saturday, February 20, 7:30pm
UCSC Music Center Recital Hall

Julianne Baird (soprano), Richard Savino (lutes), Linda Burman-Hall (virginals) and Audrey Stanley (Shakespearean reader)

Julianne Baird has been hailed as "one of the most extraordinary voices in the service of early music that this generation has produced. She possesses a natural musicianship which engenders singing of supreme expressive beauty."

This concert will recreate the London of Shakespeare's times with music by Elizabethan composers such as Thomas Morley and Robert Johnson, who worked with Shakespeare to produce their settings, and music of Baroque composers such as Matthew Locke and Thomas Arne.

Julianne Baird is joined by lutenist Richard Savino, and Linda Burman-Hall on virginals, together with poetic Shakespearean interludes by Audrey Stanley (founding Artistic Director of Shakespeare Santa Cruz).

Accompanying this event is a Locavore Artist Dinner with Julianne Baird and Audrey Stanley the following day on Sunday, February 21, at 5:30pm.
