Reviews
Huge plaudits are due to musicologist, editor and graphic designer Shawn Keener, whose indispensable projections of supertitles intelligently adorned with relevant period art have been enormously enhancing Newberry’s efforts for years.
“Witty works for an empress open Newberry Consort season.” Tim Sawyier, Chicago Classical Review. Oct. 19, 2019.
As one has come to expect at Newberry programs, musicologist and graphic designer Shawn Keener provided sophisticated projections of the music’s lyrics along with relevant artwork and architecture from the period. The AV accompaniment was indispensable to the program’s success, and a model how such visual aids can be integrated into performances.
“Piffaro joins Newberry Consort to explore the world of Isabella d’Este.” Tim Sawyier, Chicago Classical Review, Feb. 10, 2020.
The behind-the-scenes hero of the evening was Shawn Keener, responsible for one of the central elements of the evening—the projection of facsimiles. […] The flawlessly executed images offered both stunning backdrops and convenient supertitles; along with the expressivity of the songs, I couldn’t imagine a better immersive experience in a concert hall.
