As part of the 2018 Religious Arts Festival (Vive la France) at Independent Presbyterian Church,  the ensemble Tapestry brings together gorgeous music and imagery for a one-of-a-kind experience. The program opens with a solar eclipse as the world teeters on the edge of a black hole in medieval France, and then takes flight weaving together 16th-century Spanish Villancicos with works of David Lang, Hildegard von Bingen, Alan Hovhanness, Claude Debussy, Ivan Moody and Patricia Van Ness. Hovhanness’ beautiful melody, In Early Dawn Song, serves as a common thread through the concert as Tapestry explores the cycles of the moon and stars, as well as human life from childhood to young love, and finally to the wisdom of age. Tapestry breathes life into the beautiful lyrics of this program in which “hearts rejoice,” “souls tremble” and “a thousand stars fall and rise in concert.” tapestryboston.com
