Spoleto Festival USA Announces Additional Choral Concert

By Francisco Salazar

The Spoleto Festival USA has announced the addition of a third choral concert to the previously announced lineup.

The newly announced concert will be a candlelit performance of Arvo Pärt’s choral masterpiece “The Deer’s Cry” with other works performed by the Spoleto Festival USA Chorus.

The concert will be performed on May 31 in the historic Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul. The Chorus will led by Director of Choral Activities Joe Miller and accompanied by organist Julia Harlow.

In a statement, Mena Mark Hanna, Spoleto Festival USA General Director and CEO said, “This will be an especially moving performance of this beloved choral piece that allows audiences to connect with the work on a deeper level. The program pairs Pärt’s evocative piece with Josquin des Prez’s Missa Pange Lingua and movements of Heinrich Schütz’s iconic St. Matthew Passion to form a rich tapestry of choral expression.”
