Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs in Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light

Classic filmmaking and superb music combine for an unforgettable season highlight! Close watchers of the American symphony orchestra scene know that the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) stands "poised to jolt the American orchestral world" (New York Times) under the inspired direction of Marin Alsop, the first woman to lead a major American orchestra. In this Cal Performances debut engagement, the BSO performs in Voices of Light, which merges Carl Dreyer's 1928 silent film masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc with a live performance of Richard Einhorn's haunting and profound score. Renée Falconetti's portrayal of Joan of Arc has been ranked among the 100 finest film performances ever, and Einhorn's music hailed "a moving score...sublimely matching one of the great films of all time" (Chicago Sun). This acclaimed evening of music-theater has thrilled sold-out houses from the Brooklyn Academy of Music to the Kennedy Center and Davies Symphony Hall.
