THE GREGORIAN VOICES - Gregorian chant meets Pop - From the Middle Ages to Today

Description

Since spring 2011, the group THE GREGORIAN VOICES has been touring in Europe. Under the artistic direction of Oleksiy Semenchuk, the eight extraordinary Ukrainian soloists present the musical tradition of Gregorian chant in a stylish manner. Dressed in traditional monk robes, the singers create a mystical atmosphere that takes the audience on a time travel through the world of sacred music of the Middle Ages - a sound world without temporal, religious, or linguistic boundaries!
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 show how Gregorian chant can sound today: authentic and yet contemporary. In the second part of the concert, classics of pop music are played, including "Ameno" by ERA, "You raise me up" by Josh Groban, "Knocking on heaven’s door" by Bob Dylan, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, which have been newly arranged in the style of Gregorian singing. Let yourself be captivated by the fascinating voices of the soloists and the moving choral singing: Middle Ages meets the here and now. THE GREGORIAN VOICES offer you a breathtaking concert and an incomparable listening experience.
