May 28, 2009On August 7th, 2009, I’ll be conducting an epic performance of my choral music with the incredible National Youth Choir of Great Britain. The two-hour plus concert, which will take place on the main stage at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, will feature the following program:

Animal Crackers I
Animal Crackers II

Over 100 of Britain’s finest young singers, all aged 17-25. Nox Aurumque, Sleep My Child and Animal Crackers Vol. II will all be west coast premieres.
There will also be an hour long pre-concert Q&A with me and celebrated poet Charles Anthony Silvestri (Sleep, Leonardo, Lux, Nox). And we’ll both be in the lobby after the concert meeting people and saying hello.
Tickets go on sale June 3rd at 12:00 noon. If you’re thinking of attending, you may want to buy your tickets early – we’re expecting a sold-out show. Tickets range from $19.00 to $49.00, and can be purchased at either TicketMaster or the Disney Hall Box Office.

Mr. Whitacre.
You HAVE to come to GMEA All-State this year and direct whatever choir I make it into!
That’s all I have to say
Mr. Whitacre,
I would love to have an opportunity to see a concert like this, especially conducted by you. Will you ever be coming closer to the Midwest?

Ugh… I’d buy a ticket right this minute if I knew I’d have sufficient funds to make it there. Tennessee rarely has something musically exciting going down.
Wahoo! I’m pretty sure I’ll be coming! I’m so happy it’s so conveniant! Hopefully some of my choir friends (and possibly director will be coming). The song list looks EPIC, just like you said. I’m so excited!!
Is What If going to be published? That would be delicious.
Just bought tickets! WHOO-HOO!
I would have loved loved LOVED to have heard that much Whitacre live in one night.
Bought my tickets, and I’m already stoked. Last time I saw you was at a Paradise Lost performance in Pasadena, and I’m still kicking myself for not getting an autograph. Maybe this time!
Question for ya, Eric…
How would one get into the pre-concert Q&A?
Just bought my tickets. Coming all the way from New Orleans. And I agree, this will be epic. (too bad no WDH)

I am so excited to go to this concert and hear what wonderful music will be made
Great concert last night. I’m glad your off amphetamines, lol. Me and my friend waited around in lobby after the concert to meet you but come to find out we had to go the “green room” where are names had to be on a “list” (whatever that means). I was really disappointed by that but otherwise it was a great concert with a great choir. Let me know if you ever come to the Gulf Coast area (specifically New Orleans); I’d definitely be there.
