The Sacred Veil

The most recent collaboration between composer Eric Whitacre and poet/lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri, “The Sacred Veil” is based on the experiences of Silvestri and his wife, Julie, who died of ovarian cancer at age 36 in 2005, leaving two young children. Including texts from Silvestri, Whitacre and Julie herself, the intimate, compelling score tells a story of courtship, love, loss, and the search for solace.
