The Shakespeare Everywhere Festival Lecture Series continues with a fascinating discussion on the relationship between music and Shakespeare's works. The second lecture in the series, titled "Keeping Time: Music, Mood and Shakespeare's Duke of Jazz," delves into the captivating world of Duke Ellington's Shakespearean Suite, Such Sweet Thunder. This musical masterpiece employs jazz instruments and rhythms, showcasing the exceptional talents of individual musicians who bring Shakespearean characters to life through their artistry. Duke Ellington himself drew parallels between a jazz performance and the production of a Shakespeare play, and this lecture will explore those similarities.

Renowned scholar Marjorie Garber will lead the discussion, examining the intricate connections between Ellington, Shakespeare, and the diverse roles music plays in Shakespeare's plays. This lecture is presented in conjunction with two modern adaptations of Shakespeare's works: the world premiere of Such Sweet Thunder by the Washington Ballet, and STC's presentation of Bard on the Beach's imaginative take on As You Like It, aptly titled Beatlemania.

Join us at the True Reformer Building in Washington, D.C., on October 24, 2023, for this enlightening lecture. Admission is free, allowing everyone to partake in this enriching cultural experience. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the intersection of music, mood, and Shakespeare's enduring legacy.
