THE GREGORIAN VOICES - The Night of 1,000 Candles
Gregorian Chant Meets Pop – From the Middle Ages to Today
As part of their current tour, THE GREGORIAN VOICES will also perform seven extraordinary concerts in Switzerland. The stage and the acclaimed ensemble will shine in the glow of 1,000 candles.
Since the spring of 2011, THE GREGORIAN VOICES have been successfully touring Europe. Under the artistic direction of Oleksiy Semenchuk, these exceptional Ukrainian soloists present the musical tradition of Gregorian chant with consummate style. Dressed in traditional monastic robes, the singers create a mystical atmosphere amid a sea of candlelight, taking the audience on a fascinating journey through time—spanning centuries from the world of medieval sacred music to the present day.
Experience a diverse concert featuring a mix of Gregorian chants, Orthodox church music, and songs and madrigals from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. With their powerful voices and numerous solo passages, the choir and its soloists impressively demonstrate how Gregorian chant can sound today—authentic yet contemporary. The second part of the concert features pop classics, including “Ameno” by ERA, “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban, “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel, “Sailing” by Rod Stewart, as well as other new musical highlights that have been rearranged in the style of Gregorian chant for the Night of 1,000 Candles. Let yourself be captivated by the soloists’ mesmerizing voices and the stirring choral singing: a fireworks display of pure joy and energy.
