The Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and Coast Jazz Orchestra at Dartmouth plus vocal soloists and chorus perform Bynum's new oratorio, The Temp and Mr. Prosper. The work features an original libretto by acclaimed poet Matthea Harvey, who took Shakespeare's The Tempest and, through an ingenious erasure process, extracted a witty, uplifting narrative on contemporary labor relations and corporate hierarchy. Continuing in a Shakespearean vein, Bynum's work is paired on Friday with Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suite played by the DSO and on Saturday with the Coast's rendition of Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn's Bard-based Such Sweet Thunder Suite, composed in 1956 for the then-new Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
