Eight of Canada’s most powerful voices — chanting, whispering, and shouting towards the celestial.
About this Event

ECSTATIC VOICES envisions a new context for the eight-person vocal ensemble. 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 expectations 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. Placed in dialogue with the vocal music, these wordless songs evoke an otherworldly ecstasy.
