Concert held at The Central Reformed-Calvinist Church
An artistic event with such a particullary music identity – EX ORIENTE LUX it is about the belief that spirituality represents the search of transcendent purpose, which can be expressed in relation with music, nature and art in general. More than that, 1st of November is the day that our thoughts goes to those that have passed away, a day that can be found and known in the Churches spirituality as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed.
Inviting you to an introspect meditation, the music was carefully choosen. You can anticipate the message and the atmosphere of the concert, through the context in which the first music work has been written. Originally entitled Salut d’Amour, Edward Elgar has realized that he will create something more intense and profound, choosing the sigh as an descriptive title – Sospiri. In Der Abschied (Farewell) from the cycle The Song from the Earth, Gustav Mahler underlines the suggestion of an essential message: ”The Earth will remain beautiful for an eternity, but man cannot live indefinitely”, message that will be presented at the auditorium by the tenor Marius Vlad Budoiu. Jean Sibelius was inspired, in turn, by the gloomy event of his life, writing the Death of Melisanda which the orchestra will perform under the guidance of the conductor Vladimir Lungu. As for Modest Mussorgsky, the compositor often brings the situation of a man face to face with his own destiny, who often knows the most tragic situations. Thereby, he elaborates four musical paintings in which he captures the multiple facets of death, called The Songs and Dances of Death, which will be brought to life by baritone Florin Estefan.
Thereby, we invite you to discover a place of emotions and light, in the sanctuary of The Central Reformed-Calvinist Church, in an evening with as deep a meaning as possible.
The perfomance doesn’t have any break and it ends approximately at 10:30pm
