Past Events
A Cathedral Christmas on PBS (KEDT-TV)
Thank you to our live attendees and the viewers watching the broadcasts on KEDT-TV for helping to make A Cathedral Christmas a great success! For the first time ever, the Diocese of Corpus Christi in partnership with KEDT-TV & FM aired A Cathedral Christmas to the community in south Texas! Visit kedt.org for complete information. We were thrilled to be able to share this gift of music from our concert with our community thanks to the partnership between the Diocese of Corpus Christi and KEDT-TV.
Tue. Oct. 24, 2023: Whitacre: The Sacred Veil
featuring the Corpus Christi Chorale
The Sacred Veil is a major choral work by composer Eric Whitacre and poet/lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri telling a story of life, love and loss. Silvestri’s wife, Julie, died of ovarian cancer at age 36 in 2005, leaving two young children. Including texts from Silvestri, Whitacre and Julie herself, the intimate, compelling score tells a story of courtship, love, loss and the search for solace. Although inspired by this extraordinary and moving friendship, the piece does not mention Julie by name and shares a very human journey— one that so many of us can relate to.
