Cinderella

Rachael & Vilray has been a musical act ever since Rachael saw me play. I performed a very short set of covers and said she wanted in. Her voice is singular, agile, beautiful, and is the most rewarding instrument to write for. I found this when we started performing original music together. In the years since we began, our configuration has ranged from an intimate duo to a nine-piece formation. No matter the set-up on stage, my friend Rachael and I sing right to each other, tell stories about how the songs came to be and relate them to the many old love songs we love to love.

With characteristic warmth and virtuosity, the low-voice ensemble weaves together Christmas favorites such as “Es ist ein Ros entsprungen” and Saunder Choi’s incomparable setting of “Angels We Have Heard on High” alongside Sara Bareilles’ gently lilting “Love Is Christmas.” The program also spans a range of cultures and contexts from 12th-century chant by Hildegard von Bingen to Christian Onyeji’s thrilling “Amuworo ayi otu nwa.”
