 “How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit and let the music creep in our ears…” The genius of Shakespeare lives on through his poetry and prose and many composers have been stimulated by the beauty, magic, and humor of his writing. This atelier will feature the music of composers from different eras and nationalities who were inspired by this English poet – Including Thomas Morley (England), Ralph Vaughan Williams (England), György Orbán (Hungary), Jaakko Mäntyjärvi (Finland), Matej Kastelic (Slovenia), Emma Lou Diemer (USA), John Rutter (England) and Lorenz Maierhofer (Germany). The repertoire will include texts from eight of Shakespeare’s greatest plays and several beloved sonnets, including a new piece written especially for the festival by Hungarian composer Levente Gyöngyösi.  “Soft stillness and the night become the touches of sweet harmony.”

"Calling all National Youth Choirs to join me and experience the genius of Shakespeare through the music of great composers like Orbán, Mäntyjärvi, V. Williams, Rutter and others, including a new piece written especially for the festival by Levente Gyöngyösi!  The magic and power of this poetry and music will take you on a journey through every feeling and emotion and change you forever!"
