Composer Eric Whitacre and his longtime friend and collaborator, poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, have created their most expansive work to date, “The Sacred Veil,” a sensitive exploration of the fragile lines between birth, love, life, and loss. This poignant human story is a delicate, beautiful, and emotional work that charts Silvestri falling in love with his wife, the birth of their children, and her death from cancer. Its text is drawn primarily from Silvestri’s poetry and from the words of his late wife, Julie. Our presentation of this powerful piece is conducted by Dr. Steven Zopfi and joined by our partner orchestra, Philharmonia Northwest.
This concert lasts 70 minutes with no intermission.
