SONETTO: A Cabaret

Marin Shakespeare Company presents SONETTO, an afternoon musical and poetic event featuring acclaimed vocalist and lyric fusion poet Lady Zen (seen in As You Like It) and internationally celebrated cellist Jonah Kim.
Blending Shakespeare's sonnets with contemporary lyric poetry, song, and live cello, SONETTO creates a conversation across centuries. Drawing from Shakespeare's enduring explorations of love, beauty, loss, memory, and transformation, the performance pairs selections from the sonnets and songs from As You Like It and Twelfth Night with original works by Lady Zen and music that spans traditions and generations.
At the heart of the event is a simple question: What do Shakespeare's words still have to teach us about being human? Through music, poetry, and storytelling, SONETTO discovers fresh answers in familiar texts, illuminating the emotional threads that connect us across time.
