CHLOE ZOLA | THE LOVE BIRDS POSTER ART FOR FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY
February 12, 2025 Chloe Zola
Excited to share our 3rd poster in this amazing series by #lcmartist Chloe Zola for Folger Shakespeare Library 2024-2025 season — this one called “The Love Birds.” We’re celebrating “music, love, and poetry this Valentine’s Day weekend by bending “medieval music with a bold world-premiere composition by acclaimed composer and Guggenheim Fellow Juri Seo and readings from Geoffrey Chaucer’s A Parlement of Foules by DC actor Holly Twyford. Seo’s new composition, Fowles of Every Kinde, sets five stanzas from the heart of A Parlement of Foules. The piece blends themes of love, nature, and politics through the antics of a parliament of birds. Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales and often called the father of English literature, paints a scene in which over 35 bird species gather to debate matters of the heart, each representing different facets of society.” We hope many of you will get to experience this wonderful night of music!
