ZURICH: Sweeney Todd
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Sunday, December 30, 2018 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Featured Alumnus: David Charles Abell (MM' 85, Orchestral Conducting) Sweeney Todd is considered a musical, but the lushly orchestrated, highly structured score places the piece, which is inspired as much by classic Gothic fiction as horror films, in the proximity of grand opera. The title role thus demands not only an excellent actor capable of convincingly portraying the emotionally deeply wounded, bloodthirsty figure of Sweeny Todd, but also a great operatic voice with the darkest timbre. The Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, who has already been celebrated for the role at the English National Opera and the Lyric Opera Chicago, is ideally cast. Mrs. Lovett, who is prepared to do anything for love of Sweeney Todd, will be sung by the Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirschschlager. David Charles Abbell, a renowned specialist in musicals, will be at the rostrum of the Philharmonia Zurich. Andreas Homoki will be staging the macabre musical thriller, which came to fame not least through the film featuring Johnny Depp.

November 2019

Emi Ferguson (BM ’09, MM ’12, flute; MM ’11, historical performance) and continuo band Ruckus perform J.S. Bach’s Sonata for Flute and Continuo in E Minor, BWV 1034: III. Andante at Harvard University’s Horner Room. The group also recorded this work in their recently released album, Fly the Coop, hailed as “blindingly impressive” by the New York Times, which features new arrangements of Bach’s Flute Sonatas and Keyboard Preludes. You can see them perform the album live on Sunday, November 17 in Upper Manhattan’s Corpus Christi Church.
This video features Juilliard Historical Performance alums Clay Zeller-Townson (MM ’13) on baroque bassoon, Paul Holmes Morton (MM ’16) on theorbo, baroque bassist Doug Balliett (MM ’12), harpist/harpsichordist/organist Parker Ramsay (MM ’17, harp), and Shirley Hunt and Stephen Stubbs on baroque cello and guitar, respectively.
