The choral piece from Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" will serve as a starting point for a journey through the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Works by Pärt, Schnittke, and Sviridov will be performed, as well as pieces by contemporary composers from Norway and Latvia. For the first time on the stage of the DK "Rassvet", the choir Vox Cordis will perform. Listeners will have a rare opportunity to hear vocal works that bridge centuries, styles, and cultural codes. The focus will be on compositions that reveal the depth of spiritual tradition, the sound space, and the emotional nuances of the choir. The concert will begin with the chorale by Johann Sebastian Bach from the "St. Matthew Passion", setting the tone for the entire program. Next, works by 20th and 21st-century composers will be performed, reinterpreting religious music through the lens of time. The audience will hear Pärt's "Magnificat" - a bright and meditative piece filled with inner silence and resonance. In contrast, Schnittke's "Rejoice, O Virgin" will be performed - a tense, almost expressionistic piece. A special place in the program is occupied by works of contemporary Scandinavian authors. For example, Knut Nystedt's "Immortal Bach" takes Bach's music as a basis but transforms it into a multi-voiced sound stream resembling breathing. Ola Gjeilo and his "Ubi Caritas" connect ancient text with cinematic harmony. The powerful Latvian tradition will also be represented: Uģis Prauliņš and Beata Dzene expand the boundaries of the genre, merging canonicity and experimentation. The finale will feature the mystical miniature "The Lamb" by John Tavener, followed by Sviridov's "Holy God", creating a conclusion with a Russian spiritual accent. The vocal-choral part of the Vox Cordis ensemble will take the stage - for the first time at the DK "Rassvet". The ensemble works under the artistic direction of Serafim Yakovlev. The preparation of the choir is also overseen by Mark Vasilkov and Kemel Galymzhan. Their work aims to reveal the nuances and precise intonation of each piece. This concert is suitable for those interested in contemporary academic music, spiritual texts, and choral art.
