In 2001, I saw a live multimedia presentation of Voices of Light and Joan of Arc, and was nearly overwhelmed. The incredible spaces and dissonance in the music really need a big hall to bring out all this amazing score has to offer. Seeing the film in a theater-sized projection was stunning. You think those close-ups are emotionally wrenching on a DVD, wait till you see them 20 feet high on the silver screen! You practically have to look away, it’s so intense.

The performance featured the Anonymous 4, the same group as on the DVD recording, along with the Fairfax Choral Society under the direction of Doug Mears. Definitely a night to remember. The concert was so good, it convinced me to get back into choral singing after 15 years.
