Rockefeller Chapel
THE BELL INVITED SHAKESPEARE AT THE CARILLON +
MUSIC IN THE TIME OF SHAKESPEARE

This winter, two concerts at University of Chicago explore popular styles of music from Shakespeare’s time. The first showcases the talents of internationally celebrated musician and teacher Joey Brink as he plays Rockefeller Memorial Chapel’s world—famous, 72—bell carillon. The second night features the Decani, Rockefeller Chapel’s professional vocal ensemble, performing an a cappella celebration of Thomas Tallis and the Elizabethans. Tallis’s famous Lamentations will be paired with musical settings of Shakespeare texts by the Pulitzer Prize—winning Israeli—American composer Shulamit Ran, including the world premiere of Ran’s setting of Sonnet 64.
