Cleveland, OH 44106. Gartner Auditorium. 216.707.2281. Theatre of Voices: Arvo Pärt-Creator Spiritus. With special guest Christopher Bowers-Broadbent, organ. "Everything Paul Hillier touches turns to choral gold." -New York Times. The serenely beautiful choral music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is at the heart of this program by Theatre of Voices, widely recognized as one of Europe's foremost vocal groups. Pärt's spare and deeply moving sacred music appeared prominently in the west after the demise of the stifling Soviet state, and yet sounds like music we have known for centuries. Since the creation of Theatre of Voices twenty years ago, director Paul Hillier has championed Pärt's music, performing it globally. He was Principal Conductor of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (2001-2007) and has been Chief Conductor of Ars Nova Copenhagen since 2003. In 2006 Hillier was awarded an OBE for services to choral music, and his hundreds of recordings have earned worldwide acclaim and numerous prizes. Program also includes choral music by Guillaume de Machaut, John Dunstable, Kevin Volans, and Pelle Gudmundsen Holmgreen, and features organist Christopher Bowers-Broadbent. Info:
