Ensemble Vocal Polysons: Eric Whitacre - The Sacred Veil / Arvo Pärt
From October 3, 2026 to October 3, 2026, at Basilique Saint Maurice : Ensemble Vocal Polysons: Eric Whitacre - The Sacred Veil / Arvo Pärt (théâtre).
A work for choir, cello, and piano, The Sacred Veil was born from the friendship between American composer Eric Whitacre and poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. It tells the story of love between Charles and his wife Julie Silvestri, and the battle she fought against ovarian cancer, which took her life in 2005. 'The sacred veil' symbolizes the thin separation between the world of the living and that of the dead. At once intimate and universal, meditative, joyful, anxious, poignant, and resigned in turn, The Sacred Veil is a contemporary composition, often neo-classical, that transcends pain through music. In the first part: 'Fratres' and 'Spiegel im spiegel' by Arvo Pärt will be performed by the piano and cello.
