Graphic for the West End Micro Music Festival - contemporary classical music

ECSTATIC VOICES envisions a new context for the eight-voice choir. Featuring bold, sensual works for voices — Cassandra Miller’s The City, Full of People, Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize winning Partita for 8 Voices, Luciano Berio’s Cries of London, and Thomas Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah — this performance subverts expectation for the choir; bending, twisting, and mutating historical forms into new shapes and gestures.

​Punctuating the performance is Claude Vivier’s Cinq Chansons pour Percussion, featuring virtuso percussionist Aiyun Huang. In dialogue with the vocal works, these wordless songs evoke an otherworldly ecstasy.​
