Featuring Eric Whitacre’s “Sacred Veil”

The Sacred Veil is a powerful and poignant collaboration between best friends, lyricist Tony Silvestri and composer Eric Whitacre, illuminating a story of life, love and loss. Silvestri lost his wife, Julie, to ovarian cancer at age 36, leaving Silvestri and two young children grieving. This lush and intimate 12-part score with stirring cello and piano tells the story of courtship, love, and loss, where the poet finds solace in the belief that “our loved ones stand so close, right here, just on the other side of eternity.” Paired with the mesmerizing Veil is We Bloomed in Spring by local composer Edie Hill, who sets the poetry of St. Theresa of Avila, who reassures us that “our souls are God Himself; we will never perish unless He does.” This performance begins with a conversation with special guest Tony Silvestri.
