VIVIDA

A choral synthesis of sight and sounds

Join The Esoterics in welcoming this year’s POLYPHONOS winners – Shawn Crouch (Miami), Bernard Hughes (London), and Joshua Shank (Minneapolis) – along with composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi for this concert of world premiere multimedia works. For this ground-breaking concert, each composer has been asked to choose a visual work by an artist whom they know personally and to create a textless choral vocalise, to be performed simultaneously to the exhibition or projection of this visual work live in concert. Each composer will be in attendance to talk about the inspiration behind his or her choral commission. Don’t miss this innovative choral collaboration!
