The Sacred Veil (Eric Whitacre)
Friday 18 September, 7.30pm, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 369 Given Terrace, Rosalie
Sunday 20 September, 4.00pm, St Mary’s Anglican Church, 455 Main Street, Kangaroo Point
$55 / $45 concession / $35 students / $10 under 18
The Sacred Veil, scored for choir, piano and cello, is a collaboration between Eric Whitacre and poet/lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri. Silvestri’s wife, Julie, died of ovarian cancer in 2005 aged 36, leaving two young children. Texts from Silvestri, Julie, and Whitacre, enhanced by compelling music, tell a story of love, loss and the search for solace. Although inspired by a moving and personal friendship, the work shares a very human journey that many can relate to.
NOTE: Some texts in this work are confronting, and include medical details of a terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis. While this may be challenging for some, we welcome the opportunity to raise awareness of this serious illness. QR links will be provided for patrons to make donations to appropriate charities and research institutions should they wish to.
Canticum Chamber Choir with conductor Emily Cox welcomes renowned cellist Louise King, and pianist Cara Tran as we present this intimate work in the warm acoustic of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Rosalie, on Friday 18 September, and the heritage listed St Mary's Anglican Church, Kangaroo Point, on Sunday 20 September. Drinks and nibbles will be available after each concert.
We are proud to support Ovarian Cancer Australia, with 10% of ticket sales going to this vital cause.
