Joby Talbot | Path of Miracles
Immersive projections by Camilla Tassi

In Path of Miracles, British composer Joby Talbot takes the listener on a musical journey along the mystical Camino de Santiago de Compostela—literally, St. James of the Field of Stars. The work vibrates with the footfalls of the pilgrims who have walked this path for millennia, its four movements marking the major stages of the Camino.

In Path of Miracles, Talbot weaves together medieval texts in multiple languages with musical styles as far-ranging as those of Taiwanese Bunun people, creating a sonic tapestry in which past and present sound together, an extended ‘thin space’ where the human and the divine meet. Paired with projected images of the cosmos, The Thirteen’s performances of Path of Miracles promise to be replete with beauty and wonder.
