To the Field of Stars: Joby Talbot's Path of Miracles

Embark on a journey across time, space, and human
experience. Chicago’s Peregrine Vocal Ensemble continues its commitment to musical storytelling that engages audiences and connects communities with Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles.This hour-long a cappella piece recounts the
medieval pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela via Roncesvalles, Burgos, and
Leon, a path that travelers continue to follow today. Spanning four movements, signifying four major points on the pilgrimage, the piece draws upon centuries-old stories of the miracles of Saint James and the travails and traditions of faithful travelers en route to his shrine, a place where earth and heaven are said become one. Peregrine Vocal Ensemble brings the story of this journey to Chicago – won’t you join the caravan?

Peregrine Vocal Ensemble is directed by Emilie Amrein and is comprised of twenty-six professional choral singers from the Chicago area who have a deep commitment to narrative-based programming. The group was founded on the core belief that we can better navigate cultural difference, reconcile conflict, and inspire empathy through narrative-based artistic expression. Peregrine concert programs feature the thoughtful juxtaposition of historic and contemporary repertoire for the human voice.
