Our Mendelssohn bicentennial continues: his effervescent incidental music to Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream shimmers with ethereal fantasies. The call of languid summer nights resounds through Hector Berlioz’s Nuits d’été and Melissa Hui’s Night on Earth. Two outstanding Canadian sopranos, Joni Henson and Michèle Bogdanowicz, along with Hamilton’s own Bach-Elgar Choir, lend their sparkling voices to this wonderful programme.
