THE GREGORIAN VOICES - Night of a Thousand Candles

Gregorian Chant Meets Pop - From the Middle Ages to Today

Experience an impressive concert in the Basilica of the former Cistercian abbey Kloster Eberbach, the world-famous original filming location of the film classic "The Name of the Rose".

Under the artistic direction of Oleksiy Semenchuk, extraordinary Ukrainian soloists present the tradition of Gregorian chant with elegance.

Dressed in traditional monastic robes, the singers create a mystical atmosphere amid a sea of a thousand candles, taking the audience on a fascinating journey through centuries of sacred music from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The concert features a rich mix of Gregorian chants, Orthodox church music, and songs and madrigals from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. You will hear, among others, the original pieces from the film classic "The Name of the Rose" such as "Beata Viscera", "Kyrie" and "Veni Sancte Spiritus".

With their vocal power and numerous solo passages, the choir and soloists impressively demonstrate how Gregorian chant can sound today. Authentic yet contemporary.

In the second part of the concert, pop music classics will resound, such as "Ameno" by ERA, "You raise me up" by Josh Groban, "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart and other new musical highlights, which have been newly arranged in the style of Gregorian chant for the Night of a Thousand Candles.

Let yourself be captivated by the fascinating voices of the soloists and the moving choral singing: a fireworks display of pure joy and dynamism. A cappella at its finest.

THE GREGORIAN VOICES offer you a breathtaking concert experience and an incomparable listening pleasure.
