Concert program

Christus Principium
et Finis

Christ the beginning and the end. These words, spoken during the Liturgy of Light, become a symbol of passage from darkness to light, from death to life.

"Christus principium et finis" is a sacred music concert tracing the events of the liturgical year. The expectant music of Advent and Christmas gives way to Lenten songs steeped in suffering, only to conclude with a joyful Easter Alleluia.

The repertoire is a kaleidoscope of Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and 20th–21st century music.

The program includes works by

  • Wacław of Szamotuły
  • Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
  • Carlo Gesualdo
  • Giovanni Gabrieli
  • Francis Poulenc
  • Marek Raczyński
  • John Tavener
  • Nonoy Diestro
