Berklee a Les Arts: Styx - “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” (Live at Berklee Valencia)

Berklee Valencia students performed “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Nickolas Ashford
and Valerie Simpson as part of Berklee a Les Arts: Styx, the closing event of the 2023–24 season of Berklee a Les Arts.

This multidisciplinary work was created by Berklee Valencia students, faculty, and staff, drawing inspiration from Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice.

Styx is a musical journey where love doesn’t get a second chance. It unveils a white canvas that represents the collective and timeless voice of the Greek chorus. Styx is a homage to surrendering to grief, and planting the seed of hope.
