On the music:
Grammy Award-winning composer Eric Whitacre’s The Sacred Veil is a deeply personal meditation on love, loss, and healing. Written with poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, it tells the true story of Silvestri’s wife, Julie, who passed away from ovarian cancer at 36. Through its luminous harmonies and intimate text, the piece explores the profound connection between love and grief. “Heartbreaking but also bracing” (LA Times), this poignant work is presented in partnership with Metropolitan United Church as a vigil for Cancer Awareness Month.
About the Artwork:
Lionhearted by Michelle Marin. Michelle Marin creates intimate paintings, drawing on her technical knowledge as a craftsperson and artist, as well as her experiences and observations as a healthcare worker, to explore what it means to be human.
