What do Gregorian chant, tuned water glasses, Leonardo da Vinci, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have in common? All are featured in Luminos Ensemble’s final concert of the season, The Light of Stars.
In this all-a-cappella program, PEI’s ECMA-winning professional choir will present a musical exploration of humanity’s obsession with space, stars, and the music of the spheres, performing works spanning more than a thousand years. Highlights include Renaissance master Claudio Monteverdi’s stunning Sfogava Con Le Stelle; Eric Esenvald’s haunting Stars, Eric Whitacre’s virtuosic tour-de-force Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, chant by 11th century mystic Hildegard of Bingen, and more. Featuring the unaccompanied voices of the Ensemble, the concert will take the audience on a thrilling, haunting, and charming journey to the stars and back.
