Phos Hilaron

Phos Hilaron was an ambitious experiment, drawing upon the seeds of the Christian faith, catapulting them into our present century. When two thousand years ago catacomb habitants dared to “draw God,” they were moved to render beauty’s relationship with the divine. These early faithful had to paint, and they drew forms that burned within, the passion undeniable.

The Glorious Impossible

Frescoes on the life of Christ by the early renaissance master Giotto coupled with an inspired narrative by Madeleine L’Engle are the basis of a multimedia program, The Glorious Impossible, conceived and directed by Randall B. Robertson.

Excerpts are read from Ms. L’Engle’s book of the same name published by Simon and Schuster © 1990, chronicling our Lord from Annunciation to Pentecost. An eclectic array of musical passages from 16th century sacred polyphony to classical to contemporary secular vocal and instrumental works accompany details of Giotto’s interior panels from the famed Scrovegni Chapel in Padua painted around 1305.
