Inspired by the TSO's Shakespeare-themed concert Musical Tales of the Bard, we take a tour of all things Shakespeare and explore the vast musical landscape inspired by the Swan of Avon. As an added bonus, we've resurrected our re-Shakespearized West Side Story skit from season two (featuring resident thespian/cellist Robert Clemens and the SymphonyLAB players). And do you know how many English words were invented by the Immortal Bard? Be sure to Brush Up Your Shakespeare with our quiz of the day!
