“Music should be comprehensible to those for whom it is composed. To compose music for the people means to love the people.”
In the final program of its 22nd concert season, The Esoterics will celebrate the life and music of the neo- Romantic Russian composer Georgy Sviridov with an unprecedented series of concerts in both Seattle and Tacoma. Specifically for this centennial series, Founding Director Eric Banks has researched and published his own editions of Sviridov’s collected choral works, with complete transl(iter)ations of every text in the program. The Esoterics has expanded to 50 singers to present this concert of luxurious and majestic music inspired by folksong, poetry of the Silver Age, and the Russian Orthodox liturgy.
