2016 Collaborative Works Festival: The Poetry of Paul Verlaine

A reception follows the program.

Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago’s 2016 Collaborative Works Festival explores the relationship between French poet Paul Verlaine and composer Claude Debussy. While there is no evidence of their meeting, Debussy set Verlaine’s poetry to music more than any other poet. Featuring performances by Grammy Award winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, acclaimed soprano Sarah Shafer, pianists Matthew Gemmill and Scott Allen Jarrett, and CAIC co-founder, tenor Nicholas Phan.

Cosponsored with Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago
