______
A Sacred Place brings two distinct sound worlds together bridging a common theme of place. Join The Elora Singers as we explore historical choral masterpieces created for the spaces in which they were first heard. We begin with sounds meant to reverberate in the Sistine Chapel, Paris’ Notre Dame, Venice’s St Mark’s Basilica and other sacred places.
In the second half, we discover Alex Berko’s Sacred Place. This new work is an ecological service that connects the old with the new, the sacred with the secular, and the individual with their community. The outline of the work is a Jewish service. However, rather than Jewish prayers, the text is made up of various writers and thinkers who speak of the environment as a place of safety, comfort, and beauty.
