“CANTATE DOMINO” OPENING CONCERT

The opening concert of “Cantate Domino” festival will be at the special Sakramentas church, which was forgotten for the last decades and it is under reconstruction. The initiative of young enthusiastic people are to create new and special venue for the concerts and performances. 

 

In the concert, 21st of November at 7 p.m. in Sakramentas church you will hear “Avrora” Children’s choir, who will perform “Requiem” or “Children’s Games” by A.Manotskov was written specifically for Avrora Children’s Choir. 

 

Familiar from hundreds of pieces of different composers, the ritual is turned into action, a spectacle. The child step by step “plays” the content of Requiem (death, funeral, funeral life), which are actually a genuine hidden plot of many children’s games – from “blind man’s buff” to ”playing catch-up“, “funeral of the doll” or others. 45 minutes of children play singing a capella without a conductor. 

The premiere of the Requiem took place in 2017 in one of the best halls of Moscow – the Moscow International House of Music. After that, the play was shown in St. Petersburg, Tver, Yaroslavl and other Russian cities. At the concert in November, the 21th “Requiem” will be shown for the first time in Europe.
