Cappella Romana

Cappella Romana presents an enchanting programme of medieval Byzantine chants that convey the spiritual experience of Jerusalem as a place of pilgrimage. In the Middle Ages, the Holy City functioned as a kind of super museum full of rituals, relics and sacred music. This musical reconstruction focuses on the impressive ceremonies of Good Friday and Easter, as once experienced in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – heart of faith, wonder and devotion.

Prior to this concert, a workshop Guidonian Hand will be organised for Ambassadors of Early Music, our youth community for early music fans up to the age of 35. Ambassadors will receive more information about the location and time of the workshop by email and will be granted access to the activity on presentation of their concert ticket. Not an Ambassador yet? Sign up for free here.
