Singing Shakespeare
![A metal musical stave runs in a wave away from the viewer. On it are metal butterflies and musical notes, with a treble clef at the beginning. Behind are the trees of an orchard standing in long grass, with a mown path beside the sculpture.](https://media.shakespeare.org.uk/images/AHC_Orchard_Sculpture.width-770.jpg)
Singing Shakespeare was a global project that aimed to inspire choirs, composers and music lovers of all abilities to perform and create musical settings of Shakespeare’s work. It also formed part of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s celebrations of Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary in 2016.
Singing Shakespeare brought together musicians all over the world through a combination of local events and online resources. Whether you sing alone or with pre-school children, in an amateur choir or a professional ensemble, Singing Shakespeare was for everyone.
