Charles Pasternak, the Artistic Director of Santa Cruz Shakespeare joins the Santa Cruz Symphony for Symphonic Shakespeare.  William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) has inspired many artists, including:

• Felix Mendelssohn, who composed Overture for A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1842 
• Anna Clyne, who composed Sound and Fury in 2019 

Hear this dramatic great music inspired by dramatic great plays and perhaps find inspiration of your own!
