Cantata Singers: Path of Miracles
$10-$25
- Noah Horn, conductor
Forget Everest, this musical journey is unlike any other! Path of Miracles takes you on a pilgrimage through sound, following the epic Camino de Santiago route. Think stunning landscapes... except they're made of soaring vocals and intricate, mind-blowing harmonies.
Each movement hits a different stop on the path, with music that's as diverse as the pilgrims themselves. You'll hear ancient chants, soulful hymns from all over the world, and even a taste of Taiwanese tribal music.
Plus, the lyrics are a mix of languages, just like the people you'd meet on a real pilgrimage. It's a beautiful reminder that faith and music can connect us all, no matter where we're from.
What's Interesting About This Concert:
