La Tempête
La Tempête takes us on a musical journey through more than a thousand years of history. From Gregorian chants and rich Renaissance polyphony to the serene, almost timeless music of Arvo Pärt: the same quest resonates throughout – going from darkness to light. At the centre is Mary, a symbol of new life and hope. Around her persona, eight voices build a sound world that slowly becomes light: from subdued and mysterious to bright and comforting.
