We’re overjoyed to be welcoming the Orlando Consort from the UK in their final active year to the a cappella Festival again. This time, they’ll be combining vocal music with cinema at Schaubühne Lindenfels. In this internationally acclaimed programme, the singers will accompany Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 silent movie ‘The Passion of Joan of Arc’ with vocal music from the Renaissance. For this film based on Joan of Arc’s trial, they’ll exclusively perform compositions written during her lifetime in the early 15th century by well-known composers such as Dufay and Binchois, as well as several other contemporaries. This special performance will strikingly blend exquisite sounds and images to create an experience taking us back to the era of silent movies over a century ago – yet with cappella singing!
