We are thrilled to present the premiere of a new virtual performance by a group of international choral all-stars! 'My Soul Is a Candle' is the fifth movement from Jake Runestad’s 'The Hope of Loving.' "It is our hope that this performance will reach and connect to many people around the world -- for our audiences to see that classical music, particularly choral music, is inclusive regardless of race, background, choral and orchestral affiliations," they say. "And bring love and hope through the music of Jake." Enjoy! 🎶 — Words by the 16th-century Spanish Carmelite friar St. John of the Cross from Daniel Ladinsky’s collection 'Love Poems From God': My soul is a candle that burned away the veil; only the glorious duties of light I now have. The soul is a candle that will burn away the darkness; only the glorious duties of love we will have. Tenderly, I now touch all things, knowing one day we will part. — Performed from the homes of 20 artists from around the world: ALIISA BARRIERE, EMILY BLACK, ALMOND BOLANTE, AMY BROADBENT, KEIRAN CAMPBELL, MARK ANTHONY CARPIO, JONATHAN COOPER, CECILIA DUARTE, LIDIA DEENG, ELLIOT ENCARNACION, MICHELE KENNEDY, ENRICO LAGASCA*, BIANCA LOPEZ*, PAT PAGE, KITBIELLE PASAGUI, JOSE PIETRI-COIMBRE, ERICH SAMALANG, ELEONORE SIAN, JET TORRES, CLARE WHEELER *solo
