Westminster Williamson Voices is set to present a concert titled Illumina: Music of Light and Transcendence.
The concert is scheduled for 8 p.m. Nov. 23 in Bristol Chapel on Westminster Choir College’s campus, 101 Walnut Lane, Princeton.
The program features Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna and works by Paul Mealor, Felix Mendelssohn, Thomas Jennefelt and Thomas Lavoy.
Since its founding in 2003 by conductor James Jordan, the 40-voice Westminster Williamson Voices has established itself as a voice of modern composers and has been acclaimed for its creative programming and collaborations with other art forms.
The ensemble has partnered with Spiral Q Puppet Theater to present Eric Whitacre’s Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine at The Philadelphia Cathedral and The ArcheDream Blacklight Dance Theater Company of Philadelphia to present James Whitbourn’s Luminosity.
Gramophone magazine has described the Westminster Williamson Voices as an ensemble of “intimate and forceful choral artistry,” with tone that is “controlled and silken in sustained phrases as they are vibrantly sonorous in extroverted material.”
Jordan is professor and senior conductor at Westminster Choir College, where he conducts Westminster Schola Cantorum and the Westminster Williamson Voices. He has made two recordings of the music of James Whitbourn with the Westminster Williamson Voices on the Naxos label.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.
