Description

THE GREGORIAN VOICES - Night of 1000 Candles Gregorian meets Pop – From the Middle Ages to Today As part of their current tour, THE GREGORIAN VOICES will also give seven extraordinary concerts in Switzerland. The stage and the celebrated ensemble will shine in the glow of 1000 candles. Since spring 2011, the group THE GREGORIAN VOICES has been successfully touring Europe. Under the artistic direction of Oleksiy Semenchuk, the exceptional Ukrainian soloists present the musical tradition of Gregorian chant in a stylish manner. Dressed in traditional monk robes, the singers create a mystical atmosphere in a sea of candles, leading the audience on a fascinating journey through centuries of sacred music from the Middle Ages to the present day. Experience a varied concert with a mix of Gregorian chorales, Orthodox church music, and songs and madrigals from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. With their vocal power and many solo passages, the choir and its soloists demonstrate impressively how Gregorian chant can sound today. Authentic yet contemporary. In the second part of the concert, classics of pop music will be performed, including "Ameno" by ERA, "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban, "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, and other new musical highlights, rearranged in the style of Gregorian singing for the Night of 1000 Candles. Let yourself be captivated by the fascinating voices of the soloists and the moving choral singing: a fireworks display of pure joy and dynamism. The finest a cappella. THE GREGORIAN VOICES offer an breathtaking concert experience and an unparalleled listening pleasure. Participants: The Gregorian Voices
