Concerto per il tempo di Passione. Super flumina Babylonis

Saturday 13 April the Basilica of San Simpliciano in Milan will host the "Concerto per il tempo di Passione" with the Varese Chamber Choir and La Divina Armonia ensemble, directed by Lorenzo Ghielmi, with the participation of the soprano Orla Shaloo-Brundrett, the tenor Roberto Rilievi and the organist Pietro Dipilato. The event is organised in collaboration with the Fondazione Crocevia.
The program includes music by Palestrina, Arvo Pärt and Bach; among these, the cantata BWV 150, the first vocal composition of a very young Bach. The texts of the vocal compositions are inspired by Psalm 136 (On the Rivers of Babylon) and Psalm 24 (To you Lord I raise my soul).
