    Our Mendelssohn bicentennial continues: his effervescent incidental music to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream shimmers with ethereal fantasies. Joining us for this work is Theatre Aquarius Artistic Director Ron Ulrich.
    The call of languid summer nights resounds through Hector Berlioz's Nuits d'été, sung by two young vocal stars, Joni Henson and Michèle Bogdanowicz. Be the first in Canada to hear 'Pearls' by the up-and-coming female Canadian composer Kati Agocs. (The world premier at Carnegie Hall is only two weeks prior!) Hamilton's own Bach-Elgar Choir will lend their sparkling voices to this wonderful programme.
