Encounters: iMusic5–Theatrical Multimedia Productions and Symposia Celebrating the Humanities
The University of Delaware Master Players Concert Series (MPCS) is creating new traditions in the spring of 2012, to culminate with a multi-disciplinary production: "Encounters Qing and West," April 20 & 21, 2012, at 8 pm in Mitchell Hall. "Encounters Qing and West" celebrates the humanities and their diversity through the intersection of theater, literature, history, preservation, music and technology. This production will transport the audience to the Qing Dynasty (16441912), the final golden period of imperial China. Through visual presentations, drama, lectures and live music, the audience will experience the impact of the encounters between cultures, as artistically interpreted by experts in multiple disciplines worldwide. A symposium series April 13, 19, and 20in advance of the concerts will engage a broader audience in this celebration of the humanities. (See IHRC "Calendar" for more information.)
