Variant 6 & Sylvan Consort of Viols present RE/CREATE, a program for six voices and six viols. The highlight of this program is a world premiere by Philadelphia composer, Kile Smith highlighting the unique sound world created by the combination of voices and viols. Smith’s new work entitled “Endless Morn of Light” features poetry of John Milton that explores ideas of timeless divinity and the power of music to elevate the soul. Paired with this new work is Orlando di Lasso’s Prophetiae Sibyllarum, a stunning and unconventional work that the two ensembles will present in different combinations of voices and viols.
