Experience the unforgettable fusion of silent cinema and live music with *Voices of Light: The Passion of Joan of Arc* on February 7, 2026 at Burlington. The legendary 1928 short *The Passion of Joan of Arc* will unfold on screen, accompanied by the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra and Burlington Civic Music as they bring Richard Einhorn’s stirring oratorio *Voices of Light* to life—an orchestral and choral work lauded as a “triumph” by the LA Times and an “overwhelming experience” by the Chicago Tribune. Einhorn’s composition, inspired by the film’s timeless story of France’s folk heroine, weaves ancient texts into a hauntingly beautiful narrative that echoes Renée Jeanne Falconetti’s iconic portrayal of Joan’s captivity and inquisition.
