About The Event

Cantori New York Armistice Commemoration

Award-winning choral ensemble Cantori New York presents a program honoring the centennial of the armistice that ended World War I. Prominent French composer Thierry Escaich sets a gripping war narrative by best-selling novelist Laurent Gaude, for chorus, speaker, accordion, eight cellos and percussion. Conductor Mark Shapiro's English translation of the spoken text lends a searing immediacy to Escaich's seismic music. The concert closes with a new cycle for chorus and cello duet by New York composer Philip Lasser, setting texts by Frost, Hemingway and e. e. cummings, offering wisdom, sensitivity and healing. Performances Saturday, Nov. 10 at 8pm and Sunday, Nov. 11 at 3pm.
