DR Vokalensemblet's Easter Concert

This year's Easter concerts with DR Vokalensemblet and Martina Batič move into the deepest themes of Easter with music by a number of masterly composers. Paweł Łukaszewski's atmospheric Responsoria Tenebrae creates an intense, almost dark atmosphere, in which the singing voices carry both sorrow and hope. Alfred Schnittke's Three Hymns add a dramatic and meditative dimension, while Andris Dzenītis, with his musical prayer, makes room for reflection and fervour. Arvo Pärt's iconic Nunc Dimittis glows with quiet transcendence, and Georgy Sviridov's The Red Easter closes the concert with a powerful narrative of suffering, hope and redemption.
