MUSIC OF THE ALL NIGHT VIGIL: An evening of early choral music from the east, with excerpts from Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil

Saturday, June 14, 2025 | 7:00 PM  (70 minutes) 
Vox Obscura, Early Music Consort
Erik Der & Jordan Kirby, directors
with Alexander Mayang, Oktavist

Vox Obscura presents an evening of early Byzantine and Slavic choral music, uniquely structured around key excerpts from Rachmaninoff’s legendary All-Night Vigil. Joined by guest oktavist Alexander Mayang, the professional 16-voice choir will explore some of the earliest examples of sacred music - including the oldest known Christian hymn and the ancient chants that inspired Rachmaninoff himself.

This one-of-a-kind program weaves together ancient musical traditions with one of the most beloved choral masterworks of the 20th century, performed in the world class acoustics of St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine.

'Vox Obscura' unites professional musicians in Southern California to perform cultivated concerts inspired by timeless sacred, folk, and art repertoire from a wide variety of early music traditions.  Our music programs are carefully curated to restore the original spirit and intent of the composer for a modern audience.
