ABOUT THE CONCERT
“Infused”
Every generation of composers looked to the past for inspiration and infused their heritage with new meanings. Experience the sound of plainchant-based works by Dufay, Mendelssohn, Martin & Sisask as well as music based on a mystical Sephardic piyyut and rarely performed hymns by Schnittke, based on Russian Orthodox Znamenny chant. Finally, and not-to-be-missed, the evocative sounds of “Curse Upon Iron” by Veljo Tormis.
