You can keep your Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman... our go-to holiday story has always been David Lang's heartbreaking, Pulitzer-winning Little Match Girl Passion - a choral work that tells one of the darkest, most deeply human stories of hope and suffering ever put to paper. Performing this transfixing score are the brilliant minds and voices of Ekmeles, a peerless new music vocal group who have made Lang's masterpiece a staple of their repertoire.
This story would be a tearjerker if you heard it in a middle-school cafeteria... echoing amidst the sacred stone of the Crypt, it promises to be one of the most truly unforgettable events of the holiday season.
Come, Daughter
It was Terribly Cold
Dearest Heart
Inan Old Apron
Penance and Remorse
Lights Were Shining
Patience, Patience!
Ah! Perhaps
Have Mercy, My God
She Lighted Another Match
From the Sixth House
She Again Rubbed a Match
When It is Time for Me to Go
In the Dawn of Morning
We Sit and Cry
Ekmeles is a vocal ensemble dedicated to the performance of new and rarely-heard works, and gems of the historical avant garde. They have a special focus on microtonal works, and have been praised for their “extraordinary sense of pitch” by the New York Times. They are the recipients of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation’s 2023 Ensemble Prize, the first American group to receive the honor.
