Concert | Multi-Dimensional Classical Quartet & Jazz Soloist
The Ivalas Quartet will perform a selection of works by contemporary voices whose perspectives are leaving an indelible mark on our world, including Jessie Montgomery, Carlos Simon, and Eleanor Alberga. Hailed by The Strad for playing with "tremendous heart and beauty," the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception in 2017 with a mission to enrich the classical music world by spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers alongside the standard repertory. Swiss jazz pianist, composer, and visual artist Leo Tardin presents a multi-sensorial performance with both sonic and pictorial content, bringing his own drawings to life with music. The vignettes in Leo Tardin's Le piano illustre oscillate between intricate floral and plant motifs inspired by his surroundings in the countryside of Geneva and psychedelic sketches. The visuals move in real time in dialogue and response to Tardin's solo piano improvisational jazz pieces. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Play | Shakespeare's Henry V in the Park
Henry V follows the young and newly crowned King Henry V of England as he seeks to prove himself a strong and legitimate ruler. The play begins with Henry's claim to the French throne, based on ancestral ties, which the French reject. Insulted by the French Dauphin's mocking gift of tennis balls, Henry launches a military campaign against France. The central action is the Battle of Agincourt, where Henry, despite being outnumbered and exhausted, delivers the famous "St. Crispin's Day" speech to inspire his troops. The theater supplies 100 chairs nightly for the audience. Those chairs get snatched up fast though, especially at the end of the run or on beautiful summer days, so organizers advise that audience members wanting to use these folding chairs arrive 30 minutes before the start of the performance. You may bring your own chair or something soft to sit on. The theater almost never cancel due to rain, but if necessary, it will post updates on Facebook & Instagram.
