Icons and Music: Windows on the Divine
Jennifer Lester, Conductor
Envisioning the Divine by means of media such as religious icons and stained glass windows
has long been an integral part of religious experience. In this concert the Seraphim
Singers demonstrate a fusion of the aural and visual contemplative imagination in a
program that features stirring works by Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Penderecki paired
with the modern music of Tavener, Pärt, and Poulenc.
