Hila Plitmann

Eric Whitacre

A concert of Eric Whitacre’s Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings starring Grammy Award-winning soprano Hila Plitmann and featuring a 300-voice choir will be presented at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Saturday, June 25th, at 8 pm. The performance is presented by Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY), whose mission is to showcase heart-stoppingly innovative choral music at prestigious venues around the world.

Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings is a work of music theater with book by poet Edward Esch, music by Eric Whitacre, and lyrics by director David Noroña and Whitacre. The show, heavily influenced by Japanese anime and manga, is a powerful and visceral hybrid of musical theater, opera, electronica, film, and Asian drumming.

The Library of Congress presents the National Jukebox, which makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. The Jukebox includes recordings from the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation and other contributing libraries and archives. Recordings in the Jukebox were issued on record labels now owned by Sony Music Entertainment, which has granted the Library of Congress a gratis license to stream acoustical recordings.

At launch, the Jukebox includes more than 10,000 recordings made by the Victor Talking Machine Company between 1901 and 1925. Jukebox content will be increased regularly, with additional Victor recordings and acoustically recorded titles made by other Sony-owned U.S. labels, including Columbia, OKeh, and others.

Just like the National Jukebox, SOUND BEAT provides new access to vintage recordings.

SOUND BEAT is a daily, 90-second radio show highlights the holdings of the Belfer Audio Archive at Syracuse University, one of the largest sound archives in the United States. Each episode focuses on one particular recording from the archive and provides a back story detailing its place in recording history. Featured recordings come from a wide range of periods and genres. Popular and classical music performances, operatic works, and film scores are well-represented, as are those from distinctly American musical forms like jazz, bebop, country, and bluegrass. Sound Beat episodes also feature recordings from some of the great thinkers, political figures, and luminaries from the late 19th and early- to mid-20th centuries. People like Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart, and Theodore Roosevelt, to name just a few.
