Eric Whitacre, Charles Anthony Silvestri & The Crossing

Millenium Stage, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC, United States

Eric will be joined by Charles Anthony Silvestri & The Crossing for an hour-long event and webcast filled with music and inspiration. The event will include a presentation from Eric about his work with the Virtual Choir, insights by Silvestri about his lyrics for Sleep, and a performance by The Crossing. The event concludes with a performance of Sleep and Lux Aurumque. Sleep features a multimedia presentation of the art of Anne Horjus as seen in the children’s book based on this choral classic.

The performance combines choirs on stage at the Kennedy Center with thousands of additional voices online; webcast technology virtually links these voices together. Part of Voices of Our Nation: Celebrating the Choral Tradition.

Entry is free.
