Life, love, loss and the search for solace. The Australian premiere of Eric Whitacre's major new choral work: The Sacred Veil.
Join us for the Australian premiere of Eric Whitacre’s new work, The Sacred Veil. The Grammy-winning composer is conducting two performances of this moving piece, which premiered at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in 2019. The 12-movement work, written with poet and long-time collaborator, Charles Anthony Silvestri, tells a true story of courtship, love and grief.
In his only Melbourne appearance, Whitacre is joined by the Choir of Trinity College and Polyphonic Voices, along with cellist, Rosanne Hunt and pianist, Rhodri Clarke
