The Horszowski Trio presents incidental music to Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” by Korngold, and to “Midsummer Night’s Dream” by David Ludwig. The iconic “Ghost” trio of Beethoven is so named for its imaginative and suggestive resemblance to scenes from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” As we reflect on the life and times of Shakespeare, we can enjoy the inventive, joyous and expressive tones of his contemporary, William Byrd, who was as sensitive to rhythm and tone as the great playwright himself.
