About
A virtual rock star of contemporary choral music, Whitacre knows choirs from the inside and mesmerises singers and audiences alike with his charismatic sound world. Life, love, loss and the search for solace – these are the human constants at the heart of The Sacred Veil, Eric Whitacre’s latest major choral work, and here he makes his New Zealand debut to conduct New Zealand Voices in the NZ premiere. In this all ‘Whitacre’ extravaganza, featuring some of his most popular works, he also conducts the New Zealand Youth Choir and New Zealand Secondary Schools Choir.
Reviews
Whitacre memorably celebrates “the precarious beauty of life, offering the welcome consolation of art and momentary stay against our collective fate.” – Los Angeles Times (2019)
