The fine arts departments at the University of Missouri will join together to celebrate the works of William Shakespeare at the annual Chancellor’s Arts Showcase, starting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 11 at the Missouri Theatre, 203 S. Ninth St. in Columbia.

The event will feature the world premiere of “Sonnet 73: De Profundis,” a musical setting of a Shakespeare poem composed by this year’s Sinquefield Composition Prize winner, Henry Breneman Stewart (pictured), and performed by the University Singers.

In addition to the world premiere and other selections from the University Singers, the showcase also will include music from Mizzou’s Concert Jazz Band and Show-Me Opera; monologues and scenes from some of the Bard’s best-loved works, performed by students from the Department of Theatre; and art installations by MU students inspired by Shakespeare.

Tickets for the Chancellor’s Arts Showcase are $10 for adults, $8 for Mizzou faculty and staff, and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Missouri Theatre box office or online via Ticketmaster, and also will be available at the door.
