The cantata by Pergolesi, written at the end of his life, will be performed by the Collegium Musicum chamber orchestra. Music about pain and acceptance will be complemented by ancient Japanese jisei - poems that serve as testimonies to eternity. This will be a concert about farewell, where grief turns into light, and tragedy into philosophical calmness. The cantata "Stabat Mater" - one of Pergolesi's most poignant works - will be performed on the stage of the "Rassvet" House of Culture, accompanied by ancient Japanese jisei. These poems were composed by samurai before their death: on the eve of battle, in illness, or before execution. Each of them is an attempt to capture the essence of the last moment of life, not through panic, but through clarity, conciseness, and humility. This interplay between two cultures - European and Japanese - remarkably emphasizes the shared philosophy of acceptance and bright farewell. It is believed that Pergolesi completed "Stabat Mater" while on his deathbed. He was only 26 years old, but the cantata seems to summarize his short journey. The music is full of sorrow but devoid of despair. It contains silence, reconciliation, noble sadness, and fidelity to oneself. The musical part is performed by the Collegium Musicum chamber orchestra under the direction of Alexander Barklyansky. The vocal parts will be performed by soloists from opera theaters - Alexandra Sokolova (soprano, "Helikon-Opera") and Anna Sinitsyna (mezzo-soprano, "New Opera"). The composition emphasizes the intimacy and precision of the interpretation of the work - here, every note, every breath matters. Since 2013, the Collegium Musicum orchestra has been creating original musical programs at the intersection of genres and eras. The collective unites professionals and graduates of music universities in Russia and Europe. They perform both in academic venues and in spaces where music sounds particularly close - in both literal and figurative senses. On our website, we tell about free events in Moscow.
