About the Event
As a part of the world-wide celebration of Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday, James Blachly and Experiential Orchestra bring their deep connection to the music of Pärt to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, building on their sold out concerts of Arvo Pärt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2021 and of Pärt’s Passio performed at the Cathedral in two performances in 2023.
In this immersive performance, EXO invites listeners to explore the unique acoustics of the largest ambulatory chapel of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, where each note will reflect and reverberate – a meditation in stone, wood, and silence as well as sound and space. This carefully curated repertoire for strings and percussion includes two US premieres of Arvo Pärt.
