ADŌRŌ: the reimagined prayer | the wish within silence
The Esoterics concludes its silver anniversary celebration with compositions that explore the comfort and majesty that the natural world inspires.
This December, The Esoterics will conclude its 25th season with a program of contemporary prayers, in keeping with the theme of this year: saecula sacrorum, or “secular versions of sacred forms.” Since humans first appealed to higher powers, each prayer has included three aspects: an earnest wish, a willing benefactor, and a quiet utterance. In their secular form, prayers are often made to the divine that we find in nature, in ourselves, and in our communities. In ADŌRŌ, The Esoterics will perform a concert of new choral works that explore the solace, focus, and strength inspired by the natural world.
INTIMAS: Cultivating community
The Esoterics is thrilled to announce the release of our latest disc, INTIMAS. As we struggle to understand and overcome the challenges of living in a divided and divisive world, the concept of community is more important now than ever. In this time of conflict and dissent, The Esoterics offers a collection of choral works on the theme of community: to inspire reflection and respect, creation and renewal, inclusion and support.
