“If music be the food of love, sing on.” Thus the Bard might have written his famous line from
Twelfth Night if he had heard the Kansas City Chorale singing works set to his poetry. This week the Grammy Award-winning Chorale performs a whole program of music set to, or inspired by, the greatest poet in the English language. “Shakespeare in Song” will be performed on May 14th at Country Club Christian Church and on May 15th at Asbury United Methodist, under the direction of artistic director Charles Bruffy. “His poetry does lend itself to music,” Charles says. “It has a nice internal rhythm and rhyme.”
