SVAC and SJSU School of Music Present

Voices of Light

Joan of Arc.png

Voices of Light is a powerful musical composition by Richard Einhorn for chorus and orchestra, created as an overlay to Carl Theodor Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc), 1928 French silent historical film. This immersive experience combines film and live music portraying Joan of Arc's trial and execution, highlighting her unwavering faith despite the threats against her, ultimately leading to her martyrdom.  This impactful presentation is a collaboration between the Silicon Valley Arts Coalition and the SJSU School of Music.

OUR MISSION

Silicon Valley Arts Coalition (SVAC) brings together local performing arts organizations to shape and cultivate artistic collaboration, idea-exchange and the celebration of the arts. Through a commitment to education, audience involvement, and strategic promotion, SVAC enhances our members' connections with government officials, arts advocates, and grant opportunities. Our collective efforts identify and address the distinctive challenges and issues encountered by small-budget arts organizations in Silicon Valley. Let the Arts Inspire!
