“Macbeth” by William Shakespeare
"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare

Chilling premonitions drive this story of ambition, power and fate. Each scene is charged with suspense and despair in one of Shakespeare's most celebrated tragedies. "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" when blood, betrayal, and dark magic collide in this daring, all-female production. Alumna Acadia Barrengos (B.F.A. Drama '22) directs, bringing a bold, contemporary perspective to the Scottish tragedy. The cast challenges traditional gender roles while playing amongst the dangerous allure of power and collision with destiny. Step into a visually striking world where nothing is as it seems -- promising a gripping experience of theatrical thrills. Just don't say the name of the play out loud! Barrengos returns to UNCSA as an alumni director with support from the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts.

Wind Ensemble
UNCSA Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds: Classics!

From rhythmic vitality to neoclassical precision, the UNCSA Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds trace a wide musical range across contrasting tones. Dmitri Shostakovich's "Folk Dances" opens the program with driving energy and spirited motion, drawing themes from the Russian ballet tradition. Richard Strauss' Serenade, Op. 7 follows with youthful grace, revealing the composer's early command of elegance and line. Igor Stravinsky's Octet introduces a shift in texture and form, offering crisp neoclassical writing defined by wit, clarity and inventive structure. Vincent Persichetti's Symphony No. 6 closes the program with sweeping contrast and rich detail in transformation -- inviting audiences to listen for musical form in addition to melody. Under the direction of Mark Norman, the ensembles move between energy, refinement and growing musical architecture within a single program.
