In Curiouser & Curiouser, adapted and directed by Lynn Kremer and featuring original music composed by Karl Hinze ’10, an elderly Alice recalls her childhood memories of hearing fantastic stories from Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll. Images and text from Carroll’s beloved books swirl on stage in this original dance/drama that asks the question, “Who am I in this world?” Music, puppets, projections, and dance are integrated into a devised piece in collaboration with artists I Nyoman Catra, Kevin Fulton, Kurt Hultgren, Lucas Tahiruzzaman Syed, Qingan Zhang, BOOM! (Leah Smith and Michael Townsend), and Dramaturg Christian Krenek ’12.
This production from the Holy Cross Department of Theatre & Dance is sure to charm lovers of Carroll and audiences of all ages.

You are the Love of my Soul

Chamber Singers presents a program of music that features poetry about the experience of being in love.
Selected works by Debussy, Barber, Monteverdi, Whitacre, Strozzi and others depict various perspectives on and stages of love, from new passion awakening, to love unrequited; to frivolous fickle love, to the finding “the love of your soul.” Through the musical settings of poetry by Neruda, d’Orléans, Garcilaso de la Vega and Stevens, we explore the joys and follies of this most fundamental of human emotions.

Chamber Music Recital

Chamber music is played by small ensembles of two or more players such as duos, trios and quartets, where every part is played by a single performer. Its intimate setting creates a process that is democratic, participative, and that across history has been compared to a conversation among friends.
This recital features the students who participate in the Chamber Music course as they perform the works they have studied during the semester.
