The Thirteen: All Night Vigil
$40 ($10 student)
- Glenn Miller, basso profundi
- Eric Alatorre, basso profundi
Rachmaninoff's Vespers – alternately known as the All-Night Vigil – is often hailed as the composer's greatest triumph. The apotheosis of the power, beauty, and emotion of the human voice, Rachmaninoff's masterpiece is a concerto for the entire choir. Written with a symphonic palette, Rachmaninoff's masterpiece has moved audiences for over 100 years with soaring melodies, rich harmonies, and vocal pyrotechnics.
Join our choir of 23 singers, including bassi profundi Glenn Miller and Eric Alatorre, as we celebrate Rachmaninoff's 150th birthday with three performances of his Vespers.
About The Thirteen
"Exquisite in every way" (Gramophone), The Thirteen is a professional choir and orchestra celebrated for re-imagining the potential of vocal music from many periods. Praised for performing with "striking color and richness" that "transfigures the listener" (The Washington Post) and "a tight and attractive vocal blend and excellent choral discipline" (American Record Guide), for over a decade the ensemble has been at the forefront of invigorating performances of masterworks ranging from early chant to world premieres and the centuries in between.
The Thirteen's discography includes a new recording of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610; the world premiere recording of Scott Ordway's opera The Outer Edge of Youth; Truth and Fable, which premiered in October 2019 and was pre-nominated for a Grammy award; the critically-acclaimed Christmas album Snow on Snow; and RADIANT DARK, which reached #28 on the iTunes Classical Charts.
