Eric Whitacre

Eric is honored to conduct New England-based chamber choir Voce for the opening concert of its 2019-2020 season. Taking place at Immanuel Congregational Church in Hartford, CT, the concert – entitled Prelude – will feature a selection of Eric’s music.

Eric brings his professional choir to St. John’s Smith Square in two performances of his brand-new piece – The Sacred Veil. Premiered at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in February, this 12-movement work written with poet/lyricist and long-time collaborator, Charles Anthony Silvestri, tells the true story of love, loss, grief and the search for solace.

Eric will lead a choral workshop as part of the first ever European performances of The Sacred Veil at St. John’s Smith Square.

Workshop repertoire includes Eric’s Sleep, Lux Aurumque and Child of Wonder (the final movement from The Sacred Veil). Music will be provided to you on arrival.

If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact Music Productions at [email protected].
