Event Details
Following their acclaimed collaboration on Lagrime di San Pietro, director Peter Sellars reunites with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, one of America's most celebrated professional choruses, for a deeply personal meditation on saying goodbye in times of struggle. Inspired by the luminous music of Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz, Music to Accompany a Departure is presented as a ritual of leave-taking for our time. Solo voices interact with a constantly shifting choral ensemble, creating a ceremony of remembrance and devotion. The result is a stirring work that reminds us that grief and transformation are eternally linked, and that saying farewell can be a source of inspiration and strength.
