This week Theatre of Voices is travelling to Venice to perform in the 2021 Venice Biennale. On Saturday we are performing Kaija Saariaho's 'Only the Sound Remains' under the direction of Clement Mao-Takacs. This year Saariaho is also receiving the 'Golden Lion of Lifetime Achievement' from La Biennale. Congratulations from all of us! On Sunday we will be performing both Lang's 'The Little Match Girl Passion' and Pärt's 'Stabat Mater'. Performing alongside us are string players from Parco della Musica Contemporanea Ensemble. PCME is a Rome based orchestra that specializes in contemporary music.

For anyone who doesn't know yet, Theatre of Voices has an Instagram page. As a special event this week we'll be releasing our performance of Arvo Pärt's 'Virgencita' on InstagramTV. If you don't have Instagram, however, you don't have to worry. We'll also be posting the video on our Vimeo near the end of next week.

You find us on Instagram here.

We're so happy to finally be able to share our performance of Lang's 'The Little Match Girl Passion' from May. This piece won Lang his Pulitzer Prize in 2008 and Theatre of Voices our Grammy in 2009. In it, Lang masterfully weaves the H.C. Andersen's story of the same name with aspects from Bach's 'St Matthew Passion' using a vocal quartet and a variety of metallic timbres.
