ENGLEWOOD, NJ—“If music be the food of love, play on.” The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra acknowledges William Shakespeare’s famous quote in a program recognizing both the Bard and the proximity of Valentine’s Day. The NJSO presents “Best of Shakespearean Romance,” an ode to the myriad musical efforts the Bard’s works have inspired. Composers from Mendelssohn to Tchaikovsky to Sibelius have drawn on the playwright’s classic love stories, setting to music the tales of Shakespearean romances like Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
