Netherlands Radio Choir: The Sacred Veil – CANCELLED

Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Netherlands

ALL CONCERTS IN THE CONCERTGEBOUW FROM 13 – 31 MARCH HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. PLEASE CHECK THE VENUE WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Following the world premiere at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Eric joins the Netherlands Radio Choir for the Dutch Premiere of The Sacred Veil.

The Sacred Veil was commissioned by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Grant Gershon, Artistic Director, and co-commissioned by Monash Academy of Performing Arts – MLIVE and NTR ZaterdagMatinee for the Netherlands Radio Choir.

“In “The Sacred Veil,” Whitacre and the Master Chorale memorably celebrate the precarious beauty of life, offering the welcome consolation of art and a momentary stay against our collective fate.” LA Times

“The Sacred Veil may be the single most important musical contribution in our time, perhaps in any time, to a non-religious, as well as non-political—perhaps we might say non-teleological understanding of death and loss. Its length and difficulty may preclude it from inclusion in your average funeral, but to experience it in performance with 40 singers, or perhaps in recorded form, may be transformative for those whose grief, recent or deep-seated, has never completely found closure.” PeoplesWorld.org
