Musica Viva NY, New York City's premier chamber choir, continues its 2026–27 season with LUMINOSITY: Pärt, Whitbourn and Einhorn, a one-night only concert on Sunday, December 6, 2026, showcasing the extraordinary power of light. Musically and poetically, the various forms and interpretations of light range from the internal divine light of Christ to the grace of love, peace, reflection, and spiritual illumination. Spanning nearly nine centuries, this program journeys from the mystical visions of Hildegard von Bingen and the meditative stillness of Arvo Pärt to contemporary reflections on dawn, hope, and transcendence by Joanna Marsh and James MacMillan. At its heart are James Whitbourn's luminous meditation Luminosity and the world premiere of Richard Einhorn's The Radiant Ground, commissioned by Musica Viva NY.
