KVANDAL & BÄCK
In the summer program of its 26th concert season, The Esoterics will celebrate the life and work of two Scandinavian choral musicians who were born eight days apart: the Norwegian composer Johan Kvandal (8 September), and the Swedish composer Sven-Erik Bäck (16 September). This program will be a fascinating remembrance of Kvandal and Bäck, and their not-quite-parallel lives in choral music. The Esoterics will offer only one single performance of KVANDAL & BÄCK. Please join us as we celebrate the centennials of these composers at St James Cathedral!
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.
