Cantiones Sacrae

Over 250 years of music history distilled into a timeless, universal programme: from wistful prayers to jubilant hymns, from early Baroque to late Romanticism – from Schütz to Brahms.

The expressive music of Heinrich Schütz, one of the foremost German composers of the 17th century and a forerunner of Johann Sebastian Bach, weaves like a red thread through the concert. He opens this musical journey with intimate sounds – gentle, tender – music that breathes faith and hope, carried by voices in their purest form.
