The transformation of musical thinking in terms of harmonic, melodic and rhythmic aspects will undoubtedly be noticeable throughout the concert evening, in which medieval and contemporary vocal compositions will stand opposite each other. Two works by Evgeny Irshai are textually inspired by the medieval poet Angelus Silesius. In another composition, Irshai uses the texts of the Irish playwright and poet William Butler Yeats. Ancient icons will be reflected in the text of the Ukrainian writer Boris Khersonsky.
Conductor Sylvia Urdová, who studied Gregorian chant at the University of Vienna, leads the vocal ensemble Schola Minor. The group specializes in performing Gregorian chant according to traditional principles and stylistic schools.
