Cleveland Chamber Choir: Lux Caelestis -- A Prism of Sacred Music

The magnificent voices of the Cleveland Chamber Choir will present two performances of Lux Caelestis: A Prism of Sacred Music. Central to the concert is Timothy Kramer’s Lux Caelestis, a song cycle of texts about light from five separate religious traditions: Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Roman Catholicism. Each piece illuminates different aspects of light, the eternal, God, and fire throughout: divine, powerful, creative, sacred, luminous, guiding, and loving. Featured as well are the ethereal Allegri Miserere, the mystical O virtus sapiente by Hildegard von Bingen, the engaging Cecilia, Busy Like a Bee by Cecilia McDowall and Gwyneth Walker’s dramatic And Joyful Be. Come hear the Cleveland Chamber Choir fill a resonant sacred space with nine centuries of transcendent music.
