Bella Voce: And I heard a voice…


  • Old St Pat's Church (map)

And I heard a voice …

The world’s preeminent expert on the music of Arvo Pärt, Paul Hillier conducts a curated program juxtaposing Pärt’s work with European polyphony from the 14th - 16th centuries and recent works by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Julia Wolfe, and Caroline Shaw.

World-renowned artist and scholar Paul Hillier (Ars Nova, Theatre of Voices, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Hilliard Ensemble, and others) returns to Bella Voce after a long hiatus, conducting a program that contrasts gems of early European polyphony with the elegant minimalism of contemporary composer Arvo Pärt, and works by celebrated contemporary women composers. Join us and be immersed in the resonance of early music, the profound spirituality of Pärt’s signature stylings, and the voices of a new generation.
