Palaver Strings: Visions and Miracles (Portland, ME)


  • Mechanics Hall 519 Congress Street Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Join us for a one-hour meditative program (two shows at Portland’s Mechanic’s Hall). This program draws inspiration from dreams, medieval chant, renaissance polyphony, spirituality, and the power of silence. Anchored by Christopher Theofanidis’ otherworldy composition of the same name, Visions and Miracles takes us on a journey through the gentle sound worlds of Arvo Part, Max Richter, and Caroline Shaw, interspersed with excerpts of Mendelssohn’s Sinfonia No. 1. With mesmerizing harmonies and moments of joy, grief, and gentleness, Visions and Miracles is evocative and reflective, grounding and transcendent. Tickets here
