(Leavenworth, Kan.)—The University of Saint Mary Departments of Language and Literature and Fine Arts will present an interdisciplinary program of readings and song settings from the plays and sonnets of Shakespeare at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20, in the Mead Hall Walnut Room on USM's Leavenworth campus, 4100 South 4th Street.
The recital is free and open to the public.
The program is entitled "With a Hey and a Ho, and a Hey Nonino No," and it will feature
student-readers from Dr. Jill Hebert's, associate professor in English, Shakespeare
class and singers from the voice studio of Dr. William Krusemark, fine arts director
and professor of music.
Program excerpts will include poems from "As You Like It," "Romeo and Juliet," "The
Tempest, Othello," and "Two Gentlemen of Verona" set by composers Arne, Quilter, Vaughan-Williams,
and Pasatieri.
This event is sponsored by the Sister Mary Janet McGilley Chair for Liberal Studies—honoring
the late Sister Mary Janet, a published poet and professor of English at the University
of Saint Mary. For 25 years (1964-89), Sr. Mary Janet also served as president of
Saint Mary. Consistent with Sr. Mary Janet's example of teaching excellence, USM established
the McGilley Chair Award in 1990—a three-year position honoring a faculty member's
commitment to and excellence in teaching the liberal arts.
