    Sophie Shao and Friends

    Performing Arts Series

    No season is complete without our perennial favorite, cellist Sophie Shao, and her talented collaborators. This year, Shao has expanded her circle of award-winning friends to six, who will delight our community with the lush sounds of the beloved sextets of Dvorák and Brahms. They’ll also play Arensky’s quartet for violin, viola, and two cellos—a deeply expressive, late-Romantic homage to his friend Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Rounding out the sextet are violinists Jennifer Frautschi and Kyu-Young Kim, Cara Pogossian and Burchard Tang on viola, and cellist Nina Lee.

    ANTIGONE by Sophocles, in a translation by David Mulroy
    Directed by Michole Biancosino
    With original choral compositions by Carol Christensen
    Given the choice to follow the law of the state or her own sense of duty to her family, a young woman stands up and resists, even though she risks losing everything. This timely Greek tragedy explores justice, conscience, and what it means to live by one’s beliefs.

    Theatre

    Serge, Marc, and Yvan are three friends who have their relationships tested after the purchase of an obscenely expensive painting that is completely white. What begins as a disagreement over modern art quickly spirals into a witty examination of friendship, differing perspectives, and just how well we really know the people closest to us. Jayda Gilyard’s (‘26.5) senior 700 work in lighting design, Owen Foberg’s (‘27) senior 700 work in acting, Dieedra Welch’s (‘27.5) 500 work in costume design, and Jane Zhang’s (‘28) 500 work in directing.
