WVPE partners with the South Bend Symphony for the podcast series, "Aha! with Alastair," featuring South Bend Symphony Orchestra Music Director Alastair Willis. In each episode, Maestro Willis discusses pieces the symphony is slated to perform in upcoming concerts."When I was younger, several inspiring conductors helped make music come alive for me, music suddenly became more than scales and black and white notes on the page," says Willis, "and since then one of my favorite things to do is return the favor for others, whether in concert, pre-concert talks, or podcasts!"The title refers to Alastair's "aha" moments about music that he wants to share with listeners.

Aha with Alastair, Episode 16: Shakespeare's Dreams

South Bend Symphony Orchestra

For the South Bend Symphony Orchestra's second Jack M Champaigne Masterworks this season, we are thrilled to be collaborating once again with our artistic partners Shakespeare at Notre Dame, led by Scott Jackson. Together, we’ve created a unique concert experience with music and text through Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest. The orchestra will be joined by actors, with an extra dimension being added through Camilla Tassi’s projection design.
