IlluminationsStep into a world where light transforms darkness in this atmospheric holiday program designed for and inspired by the medieval spaces of The Met Cloisters. Illuminations celebrates the interplay between light and sound—candlelight illuminating ancient stone, music illuminating sacred art, and artistic vision illuminating the human spirit. GRAMMY®-nominated vocal ensemble Skylark, described as “gripping” (The Times of London) and “compelling” (The Boston Globe), creates an immersive experience as their voices move through the Romanesque Hall and adjacent chapels. Listeners are surrounded by sound, just as medieval worshippers would have been in these sacred spaces. The program draws inspiration from the remarkable diversity of artworks throughout The Cloisters—from intricate stone carvings and luminous stained glass to vibrant frescoes and soaring architectural elements. As candlelight plays across these treasures, certain harmonic moments in the music similarly illuminate the acoustic space. When performed in other venues, the same magical interplay between light and sound creates a similar atmosphere. This holiday offering provides a respite from winter’s darkness—both literal and figurative—illuminating the season with warmth, wonder, and timeless beauty.
