The Sacred Veil – European Premiere

St John’s Smith Square, London, United Kingdom

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, life, loss and the search for solace. The Sacred Veil received unprecedented acclaim from the media, concert-goers and the artists following its premiere, and is Eric’s most extensive choral work to date.

“We have partnered with the charity, Maggie’s, for these two London concerts.  Maggie’s offers free practical and emotional support for all people living with cancer, and their loved ones. The work they do is truly incredible. They have 23 beautifully designed centers across the UK & abroad and are opening 2 more this year. They also have an online community if you aren’t able to make it to a center.   They are continuously expanding to share their experience and knowledge with cancer support centers and groups around the world.    We’ll be hosting a bucket collection after each concert in October and there will be representatives from Maggie’s so you can find out more about what phenomenal work they’re doing.” Eric
