STMA Concert Choir: Eric Whitacre - 'The Sacred Veil' (Movements I-III)

The St. Michael-Albertville High School Concert Choir had the honor of giving the Midwest premiere of Eric Whitacre's “The Sacred Veil,” a collaboration with Charles Silvestri. Inspired by the death of Silvestri’s wife, Julie, of ovarian cancer at 36, “the intimate, compelling score tells a story of courtship, love, loss and the search for solace,” Whitacre says. These talented Minnesota singers present the first three movements of the 12-part work in this March 2022 performance.
