"Shakespeare in Song"

Mississippi State’s Department of Music will present “Shakespeare in Song” at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday [Feb. 9] in the Robert and Freda Harrison Auditorium of the university’s Giles Architecture Building. The program is free and open to all, and a reception sponsored by Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity will follow. Karen Murphy, coordinator of collaborative piano, and Nancy D. Hargrove, William L. Giles Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, co-founded this interdisciplinary program of poetry and song in 2008. Previous poetry and song programs have featured Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot, Langston Hughes, e.e. Cummings, Robert Frost and Walt Whitman. For this year’s Shakespeare program, Murphy will serve as the pianist, and Hargrove will give a commentary with illustrations. Singers will be faculty and students of MSU’s music department.
